The contents of this book are the results of a series of lectures, 
delivered under the auspices 'of TEE EUMAJ STATUES CLUB, by Br. V. G. 
Rocine, at Chicago, Illinois, in 1920 - 1921, on the subject, "FOODS 

CHEMICALS", as they apply to the nineteen human types of people. 
No - other reference, similar to this, has been compiled, that gives 
such definite and extensive information concerning the particular 
foods necessary to health and well-being of each type of people. 

jln preparing this work, organizing, S37stematizing, and classifying 
the information, the fact has been kept in mind, always, that the 
statements should be sufficiently clear to enable the doctor, the 
nurse, the student, and the layman, to understand and apply the 
science to everyday life. 

The Government chemists, Atwater and Bryant, in their work, "American 
Pood Material", page 12, write that, "The ideal method of analysis 
of food materials would involve quantitative determinations of the 
amounts of each (element)." 

When we know the relative and quantitative proportions of the vari- 
ous food elements in a given food; when we consider that the human 
body is composed of sixteen different chemical elements, in varying 
degrees of strength; when we can supply that chemical element, or ■ 
compound, which may be lacking in the body, as, for instance, tri- 
Calcium phosphate for the bones, or lecithin for the nerves and 
brain, or Potassium chlorid for the muscles, or Iron sulphate for 
the blood; and when we know in which food articles to find those par- 
ticular elements needed by secretions, blood, nerves or tissues - 
the question of health and the cure of disease reduces itself to a 
scientific certainty, as explained in this book. 

From time immemorial, doctors have said, "That which is one man's 
meat is another man's poison." Why? Because people are differ- 
ently constituted; because they are divided into different types, 
namely, nineteen different Constitutions, or types; hence, that diet 
which cures one man may kill another. It is " exceedingly important 
to study that which we eat, drink and breathe. s associates v;e 
keep; the clothes we wear; the books we'read; the thoughts we think; 
the food we eat - determine our destiny, Our health, our success, 
our longevity, our character, oUr peace of mind, our prosperity, and 
our place in heaven, or in hell. 

"As we sow, so shall we reap", says the Bible. "We are what we eat, 1 ' 
says the chemist. Look at the food of the inebriate; observe the 
habits of the criminal; notice the menu of the nervous and sickly 
society lady; pay attention to the diet of the obese gormand; ob- 
serve the meals of "the sickly sinner; notice the meals and habits of 
the morphine fiend. Is it any wonder that the observing chemist 
says, "We are what we eat"? 

The marvelous science, herein described as discovered, unfolded and 
revealed by Dr. Rocine, is of inestimable value to the present gener- 
ation, and it will be Of ever-increasing value to the countless 
generations yet unborn. 

THE HUMAN NATURE CLUB. 
Chicago, May, 1921, 



INTRODUCTION o 

This book contains many facts that are highly important to our 
every-day life, facts that have never "been taught in any Universi- 
ty, Medical College, or other educational institution in the world. 

The most valuable feature of a Scientific Treatise on Poo&s is the 
definite knowledge that the individual has concerning the contents 
of the "book, and how . to refer, instantly, to any important inform- 
ation therein that may he desired. 

The purpose of this Introduction is to give you a glimpse of the 
contents of this book, and ho?/ to find any needed information set 
forth in the book. 

The first section of the book, pages 1 to 124, includes Lesson 
Sheets on each of the 16 Chemicals in the human body. Each chemi- 
cal Is treated in a definite and uniform manner, and the knowledge 
set forth under each of the several definite headings, in connec- 
tion with each chemical, conveys valuable information. 

The Index to the first section - pages 125 to 130 - covers informa- 
tion contained in the first 124 pages. 

Following the Index,, are pages P~l to P-218, which cover Lecture 
Notes on the chemical food elements described in the first section 
of the book. These Lecture Notes are very comprehensive, and give 
much detailed information, which abundantly supplements the Lesson 
Sheets on the various chemicals in the body. In these Lecture 
Notes are several hundred Questions and Answers on varied subjects. 

On page P-84 to P-86, detailed information may. be found on the sub- 
ject of herbs and their curative value. 

Pages P-219 to P-263 cover "ASSEMBLED PACTS", all bearing directly 
upon the subject of Poods and Chemicals, and their application to 
the human race. 

On page P-219 to P-220, appears the name of each human Constitution, 
and 'the Pood Chemicals which people of that Constitution should 
eat, and other Pood Chemicals which people of that Constitution 
should omit from their diet. 

On pages P-223 to P-231, appear the names of Poods common to the 
every-day dining table. Opposite the name of each food appears 
the name of the principal food elements rich therein. Dr. Roclne 
spent many thousands of dollars in obtaining quantitative food 
analyses, which formed the basis for this very valuable informa- 
tion, valuable to every living person. 

On pages P-233 to P-234 are the names of many acids found in foods. 
Opposite the name of each appears a description thereof, and the 
manner in which that acid affects the human sj^stem. 

On pages P-237 to F-240 appear. the names of such foods that are 
richest in the chemicals named. A list of the most prominent 
functions of each of the 16 Chemicals, as they affect the human 
body, appears on these pages. This gives a birds *-eye-view of 
the leading functions of each Chemical, and of the -foods that 



supply these chemicals in the body- Kiis list serves as an in- 
stant and valuable reference, and should be borne in mind whenever 
the reader desires to know the principal functions of any food 
element, or what foods to eat, in order to increase that chemical 
in the body. 

On pages F-241 - F-242, please note the name of each Chemical, op- 
posite of which appears the name of each Constitution in which 
that Chemical element is in excess; and the name of each Constitu- 
tion in which that Chemical is deficient. 

Page F-243 tells what to eat and what to 'omit, in order to increase, 
in the body, any one of the 16 Chemicals. Page F-244 tells what _ 
to eat arid what to omit, in order to reduce any Chemical element in 
the body. 

Page F~247 describes the nature of the bath most adaptable to each 
of the 19 Human Types. Page F-248 names the altitude and the 
climate which are most favorable to each Constitution. 

Pages F-250 to 5^-263 contains many valuable statements under the 
heading "FLASHLIGHTS". " This information is alphabetically arrang- 
ed under four headings* The first section. contains information 
in reference to "BODY AND MIND CONDITIONS", the second section - 
"DISEASES AND AILMENTS", the third section - "FOODS AND CHEMICALS", 
and the fourth section ~ "MISCELLANEOUS". 

Let 'us suggest, in order to become familiar with the book, that 
you, first, read the PREFACE, then read the TABLE OF CONTENTS on 
the opposite page. Study carefully the INDEX on the blue pages 
125 to 145. Note that the first section of the Index - pages 
125 to 130 - guides you to information contained on pages 1 to 124. 

Pages 131 to 145 supply the Index to information in the second 
section of the book - pages F~l to F-263. Read carefully page 
131 of the Index. This is most important . 

This book is a product of which every member of the HUMAN NATURE 
CLUB is justly proud. The information contained therein is suf- 
ficient for many books, but the thousands of facts'- marvelous as 
jhey are, have been condensed into this one volume, and the in- 
formation has been assembled, prepared and systematized in the 
most convenient and logical manner possible* 'It is the crowning 
achievement of the work and co-operation of Dr. Rocine and the 
Human Nature Club. It is a stepping-stone in the Science of Man, 
which will contribute immeasureably to the health and well-being 
of mankind in this age, and in the ages to come*

LESSON SHEET . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . SUBJECT-CARBON . 

1. CARBON IN THE I.IINERAL ANp VEGETABLE KINGDOMS : 

a. Carbon is the cradle (Basis or foundation), of the creation; 
the primary element of growth. It is an organic, non- 
metallic element. It is found in the diamond, dolomite, 
limestone, anthracite coal, charcoal, lamp— black, graphite, and 
other minerals. 

b. Carbon is found in the hardest and softest elements known. 
It is found in large proportions in the entire carbo-hydrate 
series: the glucoses, the bi— saccharides, the tri— saccharides, 
and the poly-saccharides. 

c. The Carbon in the atmosphere exceeds in quant ity the Carbon 
in the earth, in vegetables, in animals and in human beings. 

2. CARBON, ITS NATURE AMD CHARACTERISTICS : 

a. Carbon is a sleepy, negative element;but highly complex in its 
molecular construction. Chemists claim it has neither color, 
odor, nor taste. Whenever Carbon and Oxygen are at work, heat 
is generated, growth takes place, and carbonic oxide is formed. 

3. FUNCTIONS OF CARBON- IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION : 

a. Carbon is the basis of the Lipopheric, pyogenic, and especial- 
ly the Carboferic constitutions. It is the principal orga- 
nizing element in the sugars (Sacchari). It plays an im- 
portant roll in muscle metabolism, in glycogenosis, in cell 
organization, and in protoplasmic evolution. 

b. Muscles contain from 140 to 230 grains of sugar (glycogen). 
The average person who weighs 160 lbs. has about 45 lbs. 
Carbon in his body. 

c. When Carbon is oxidized, stored, utilized, or formed into living 
material, carbonic acid and Carbon products are formed. If 
Carbon cannot be utilized in the body, disease follows. 

4. CONSTITUTIONS IN WHICH CARS 01 J IS INHERENTLY : 

a. Excessive: Carboferic, Hydripheric, Lipopheric, Pargenic. 

b. Deficient: Nervi -Motive, Neurogenic, Marasmic, Calciferic, 

Sillevitic, Atrophic, Medeic. 

5. SYMPTOMS WHEN CARBON IS EXCESSIVE : 

a. Fatigue, growths, low vital resistance, gas generation, acidity, 
bacterial growth, drowsiness, internal congestion, stupidity, 
confusion f f ear, forge tfulness, fainting, nervousness, diseased 
imagination, loss of ambition, and laziness. 
5 a. SYMPTOMS WHEN CARBON IS DEFICIENT : 

a. Leanness, irritability, excitability, spitefulness, coldness of 
mind, over-sensitiveness, poor nutrition, frigid manners, ten- 
dency to rave about conduct of others, low Carbon metabolism, 
desiccation, emaciation. 

6. HOW TO REDUCE CARBON IN THE BODY : 

a. Foods: Eat foods rich in Calcium, Iron, Potassium. 

Silicon, and Sodium. 

Omit sweets, fats, starches. 

b. Climate: Live in dry, cold climate in mountainous 

district, where air is sharp and attenuated;, 
high altitude, abundance of ozone, sandjr or 
stonjr'soil. 

c. Mental Exercise: Intellectual, scientific, mathematical, vo- 

litive. 

d. Physical Exercise: Hard, severe, continuous. 



8 (Revised) 

7 . * HOW TC IN CR EASE C ARBO N IN THE BODY : 

a. Foods: Eat easily digested sugars, fats, and 

starches mixed with foods rich in Po- 
tassium, Iron, and Sodium. 

b. Climate: Live in low altitude, dense air, high hu- 

midity, warm sunlight. Tropics preferred. 

c. Mental Exercise: Innocent pleasure, attention to dress, free- 

dom, abundant sleep,.love pleasure, a care- 
free life; sentimental, romantic, imagina- 
tive scenes. 

d. Physical Exercise: Pleasureable. 

8 - PEOPLE WHO REQUIRE CARBON FOODS : 

a. In abundance: All lean people ;but such people cannot easily 

assimilate Carbon substances. 

b. Very little : All vital people; but they are always fond of 

carbonaceous food substances. 

9. INEEEENCE OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CARB O N FOODS ON : 

a. Health: Ruins the health and shortens life. 

b. Disposition: Sours the disposition, tissues, and secretions by 

precipitating many of the organo-metallic salts; 
lowers oxidation, and sours the nerves. "My nerves 
are crazy and creepy" says the Carbon patient. 

*° • INFLUENCE OF A DEFIC I ENT AMOUNT OF CARBON FOODS ON : 

a. Health: Leads to hardening, sclerosis, calcifications. 

b. Disposition: Pessimism, atheism, skepticism, criticism, cynicism. 

11 . DISEASE TENDENCIES OF PEOPLE IN WHOM CARBON IS IN EXCESS : 

a. Paralysis, nervous diseases, cardiac ailments,. obesity, goiter, 
feeble— mindedness, fear, auto-intoxication. 

12 • CHEMICALS IN FOODS THAT PEOPLE WITH EXCESS CARBON SHOULD : 

a. Eat: Foods rich in Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Silicon, and 

Sodium. 

b. Avoid: Carbonaceous foods; especially all foods containing sugar. 

1 3 • VOCATIONS FOR WHICH CARBON PEOPLE A RE BEST ADAPTED : 

a. Tailoring, textile manufacturing, cookery, study of gases, spirits, 
hob-goblins r dress, chemistry of carbo-hydrate series, zymology, 
brewing, candy-making, and cake-making. 

14 . HELPFUL H INTS: 

a. Carbonic acid depresses the mind, heart, 'circulation, thought, mus- 
cles, and nerves. Carbonic oxide demands abundant air. The 
Carbon man is a man of fear, timidity, and accidents. He 
should develop courage, self-confidence, and action. 

15 • PRINCIPAL CARBON FOODS : 

a. Potatoes, rice, sugar, candy, honey, syrup, molasses, rye, 

corn, wheat, barley; also all gluten, white, and graham flour; 
as well as all bread preparations such as biscuit, cake, pas- 
try, cookies, crackers, doughnuts, rolls, wafers, puffs, germs, 
pancakes, and puddings. Also all starchy-yeasty dishes, maca- 
roni, sago, manioca, arrowroot, beans, peas, lentils, apples, 
red chili, figs, grapes, pears, chestnuts, lichi nuts, malted 
milk, infant food.

INSTITUTE OF HUMAN NATURE STUDIES, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS . 
LESSON SHEET . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . SUB JEC T-HYDROGEN . 

*• HYDROGEN IN THE MINERAL AND VEGETABLE KIN GDOMS: 

a„ It is abundant in nature ,oc curing as a constituent of water, 
of which it forms 11.19$, and of all organic compounds. We 
cannot analyze any vegetable substance without discovering 
that it contains Hydrogen and Carbon. 

2, HYDR OG EN, ITS NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS : 

a. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, gaseous element that li- 
quifies under great pressure, and at a very low temperature. 
It is the lightest substance known, being 14-J- times lighter 
than air, and more than 11 times lighter than water; hence, it 
is taken as a standard in comparing atomic weights and volumes, 

b. As a gas,H3rdrogen is used for inflating balloons; in a com- 
pressed state, for producing low temperature; and in the na- 
scent state, for reducing chemical compounds. 

c. Hydrogen enters into animal and vegetable tissue, also into 
minerals. It is the water maker. It does not unite readily 
with any other element, although its affinity for Oxygen is 
rather pronounced. In the form of organic compounds, it is 
absorbed by plants, animals and human beings. It is the wa— 
terer of life. 

d. It possesses great inflammability, expansion, diffusion, and 
wonderful power of penetration. It is Hydrogen that runs 
our trains, waters our plants, circulates our blood, carries 
our ships, explodes steam boilers. It is the nurse of life, 
and the vehicle of transportation. 

3. FUNCTIONS OF HYDROGEN IN THE HUMAN ORGAN I ZATION : 

a. Hydrogen is the silent, passive worker in the scheme of crea- 
tion. It is the medium betv/een soul and matter. Without 
Hydrogen, creative energy in the bod}?- would cease. There 
would be no elimination, no perspiration, no salivation, no pro- 
creation. There would be no music, no song of birds, no pratt- 
ling of babies, no growth, no activity, no thinking, no circula- 
tion of blood, no digestion. There could be no chick hatched, 
no baby born - only death and silence. 

b. About 15 lbs. Hydrogen enters into the normal human body of 
which the total weight is 160 lbs. Hydrogen is needed in 
every tissue and in every drop of blood. 

c. Hydrogen promotes osmosis, soothes the nerves, regulates bodily 
temperature, moistens lung surfaces for gas diffusion, carries 
out impurities, cools tissues, and prevents inflammation. 

d. Without moisture in the body, the nerves would harden, stiffen, 
decay, ache, burn, and corrode. 

e. Hydrogen favors osmotic pressure , cell filtration, smell, hear- 
ing, cell vibration, and the function of the taste buds. 

I. CONSTITUTION S IN WHICH HYD RO GEN IS INHEREN TLY: 

a. Excessive: Carboferic, Hydripheric, Lipopheric, Nitropheric, 

Oxypheric, and Pallinomic. 

b. Deficient: Marasmic, Calciferic, Medeic. 
>. SYMPTOMS WHEN HY DROGEN I S EXCESSIVE : 

a. Sores heal slowly; skin is like putty; scars never disappear; 
tissues are too spongy; lower bowels are too large ; water bags 
form under the skin; senses become alarmingly acute; bad odors 
stay ^ almost permanently in the body; obesity, because salts are 
precipitated, resulting in diseases that medicine, operations, 
and mechanical punches cannot cure. 



4 (Revised) 

5a . SYMPTOMS WHEN HYDROGEN IS DEFICIENT : 

a. Leanness, desiccation, inflammation, heat centralization, pain, 
discomfort, sleeplessness, torpid glands, confusion, temper, rush, 
excessive nerve heat , shrinkage of brain cells. The patient 
"becomes lean, lank, old appearing, touchy, self ish, contrary, odd, 
cross, intolerant, dictatorial, self -wise, ugly, and mean - all 
because nerve and brain matter is disturbed. 
6 - gQWJTO_REpUCE HYDROGEN IN THE BODY: 

a.. Foods: Eat foods rich in Calcium, Silicon, and Chlorin, 

Omit watery foods. 
b» Climate: Live in a dry climate. 

c. Mental Exercise: Relish dry foods. 

d. Physical Exercise: Do hard work. 
7 « HOW TQ INCREASE HYDROGEN I N THE BODY : 

a. Foods: Eat watery foods. 

Omit foods rich in Calcium, Silicon, & Chlorin. 

b. Climate: Live in a humid climate. 

c. Mental Exercise: Relish liquids and liquid foods. 

d. Physical Exercise: Engage in easy exercises. 
8 - PEOPLE WHO REQUIRE HY DROGEN FOODS :

b. Very little: Vital people, especially Hydripheric people. 
9. IN FLUENCE OF AN EXCESSIVE A MOUNT OF HYDROGEN FOODS ON: 

a. Health: . Detrimental. 

b. Disposition: Favorable. 

1 . INFLU ENCE OF A DEFICIENT AMOUNT OF HYDROGEN FOODS ON : 

a. Health: Unfavorable.

11 . DISEASE TENDENCIES OF PEOPLE IN WHOM HYDROGEN IS IN, EXCESS : 

a. Eczema, sudden collapse, infiltration, hydric obesity, fevers, dis- 
charges, effusion, ulceration, pyorrhea, ailments with feet,anere- 
thesia, numbness, paralysis. 

12 . C HEMIC A^_JN_FOpDS_THAT_PE OPLE WITH E XCESS HYDROGE N S HOULD : 

a. Eat: Foods rich in Calcium, Silicon, and Chlorin. ~ 

b, Avoid: Foods rich in Hydrogen. 

15. VOCATIONS FOR WHICH HYDROGEN PEOPLE ARE BEST ADAPTED: 

a. Food manufacture, doctoring, drug manufacture, balneology, clima- 
tology, business in foods, tonics, and beverages. 

14 . HELPFUL HINTS : 

a. Excess water results in protrusion of eyeballs, lung oppres- 
sion, lymphat ism, high arterial tension, sudden diarrhea, organic 
heart disease. Urine often contains epithelial cells, indica- 
ting destructive changes in tissue, The fibrin, albumin, leu- 
cocytes, and organo-metallic salts are often below normal, and 
specific gravity of the blood is too low. 

15 . PRINCIPAL JTyDR^EN_FOODSi

INSTITUTE OF HUMAN NATURE STUDIES, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS . 
LESSON SHEET. COURSE-FOOD S & CHEMICALS , SUBJECT-OXYGEN . 

I. OXYGEN IN THE MINERAL A ND VEGETABLE KINGDOMS : 

a. Oxygen is the most abundant and most important element yet 
discovered. It is found everywhere - in animals, vegetables, 
water, air, in the crust of the earth, in tissue, fluid, and 
in blood. The ocean itself is a vast storehouse of Oxygen. 

b. The weight of Oxygen of the globe exceeds that of all other 
elements combined. It forms by weight more than half of the 
animal, four-fifths of the vegetable, and half of the mineral 
world; also about one-fifth by volume of the atmosphere, and 
eight-ninths of weight of water. 

2 - OXYGEN, ITS NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS: 

a. Oxygen is associative in character, and unites with every ele- 
ment known, except Fluorin. It is uneasy, restless, active, 
constructive, destructive, unstable, explosive, impulsive, 
instantaneous, and spontaneous. It is never still; it knows 
of nothing but work, action, rush. It is the Almighty 1 s chem- 
ist, destroyer, user, and economist. Its combination with 
other elements is called oxidation. It is called "The tooth 
of time". 

b„ It has neither color, odor, nor taste. 

c. Oxygen has many functions and uses besides that of food organ- 
ization and its presence in food; as, for instance: Oxidation, 
decomposition, association, heat generation, utilization, life 
action, invigoration, intensification, metabolism, atmospheric 
motion, elemental commotion, mental emotion, combustion, de- 
struction, air purification, removal of organic matter, corro- 
sion, disinfection, (ozone), etc. 

d. Oxygen is also the destructive agent of the air. It is ever 
ready to attack, decompose, corrode, separate, organize, cre- 
ate, break-up, use, or combine. 

3. FUNCTIONS OF OXYGEN IN THE HUI.IAN ORGANIZATION : 

a. It is an organic impulse in the phenomena of human life. It 
stimulates the muscular s3?-stem, arouses the circulatory im- 
pulse, increases life processes, supports life, urges the 
blood to and fro, fires up creative passion, invigorates the 
functions, builds tissue, increases power of transmission, 
oxidizes blood and tissue, tones up the soul, intensifies 
pleasure, increases oratory, warms the body, repairs fractures, 
and feeds every organ of the body. 

b. The muscles consume about 59 cc . , of Oxygen, and give off about 
57 cc.,of carbonic oxide every 24 hours. The brain uses 46 cc.

LESSON SHEET . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. SUBJSC T-NITROGEN . 

1 • NITROG EN IN TH E MINERAL AND VEGETABL E KINGDOMS : 

a. Nitrogen is found - in the air , (forming four-fifths of its vol- 
ume) and in the vegetable kingdom, as a common constituent of 
plant tissue, and in the mineral kingdom, also in animal tissue 

2, NITROGEN, ITS NATURE A ND C HARACTERI STICS : 

a.- Nitrogen does not support combustion; it prevents Cxjrgen from 
burning everything (except Fluorin, which is the one element 
Oxygen cannot destroy). It (Nitrogen) acts as a necessary 
diluent of the Oxygen of the air. 

b. It is a tasteless, odorless, colorless, gaseous element. 

c. Under great pressure it forms a colorless liquid which, when 
evaporated in a vacuum, produces colorless crystals of Nitrog«3, 

d. It is one of the essential fertilizers, and when guano, nitrate 
of soda, and nitrate of Potash, (The. great sources of Nitrogen) 
are exhausted, atmospheric Nitrogen will be the only remaining 
supply. 

e. Only two ways are known of converting Nitrogen into plant 
food: one by electricity, and the other through bacteria. 

f. Nitrogen is very strong, very independent, non-associative, acts 
as a cooler, and regulator of heat, a preserver. 

g. It is negative in nature. It has power to absorb the dark 
pigments from plant food. It is directly opposite to Oxygen 
in its nature. Its affinity ia distant. 

3 , FUNCTIONS OF NITROG EN IN TH E HUMA N ORGAN IZATION : 

a. It acts as a vitalizer,and tissue builder. It enters strongly 
into the proteins. One-fifth of our flesh is Nitrogen, says 
the chemist; and this we obtain from vegetables and meat. We 
hold Nitrogen very loosely. 

b. The tendency to decomposition is in proportion to the insta- 
bility of Nitrogen. So soon as Nitrogen leaves the body the 
tissues decompose; and Nitrogen is the first of all elements 
to leave. 

c. In an average man who weigh. s 160 lbs., there are 2 ounces Ni- 
trogen; says the chemist; 

d. Nitrogen is found in the muscles, blood, fibrous tissue, also in 
the hairy and horny tissues. 

e. Nitrogen increases pigmentary assimilation. Its power upon 
mind functions and disposition is inhibitive. It increases 
magnetic and electrical qualities. 

4, CONSTI TUTIONS IN W HICH NITR OGEN IS INH ERENTLY : 

a. Excessive: (Functionally) Nitropheric, Pathetic.

1. sodi u m in the mineral and vegetable KINGDOMS : 

a. Sodium is abundant in nature. It is found in all bodies of 
salt water, in plants and plant crops that grow near salty 
bodies of water, and in the earth (as common salt) etc. 

b. Native Sodium comes mainly from such mineral waters as French 
Vichy, Aaix; and Carlsbad. It comes also from the geysers of 
Iceland, from the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, from California, 
and Virginia. 

c. One gallon of sea water contains about four ounces of common 
salt, and this salt is highly rich in Sodium. 

d. Sodium salts found in plant foods are organic in form, while 
those chemically prepa.red are inorganic. Organic Sodium is 
preferable to inorganic Sodium (salt). 

e. B4-carbonate of soda is the soda used by cooks. This is a. 
white powder, having a cooling spicy alkaline taste, and is 
soluble in twelve parts of water. 

2. SODIU M, ITS NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS : 

a. Sodium (or Natrium) is a silvery white, alkaline metal with a 
remarkably brilliant lustre. 

b. It is positive in electrical character, and has a strong affi- 
nity for Oxygen and Chlorin, and, in consequence, it is now 
made commercially for the reduction of Magnesium and similar 
metals. Its compounds are of high importance, 

c. Sodium was discovered in 1807 by Sir Davy, who, by means of 
electricity, separated the Sodium: element from Oxygen. 

d. Sodium oxidizes rapidly in air, but not so rapidly as Potas- 
sium. Sodium neutralizes acid, and is curative in nature. 

e. When Sodium is heated in Oxygen it bursts into a flame and 
burns with a yellow light. 

f . Sodium has a decomposing effect on water. If the water is hot 
the Sodium acts spontaneously. It has attraction for humidity. 

3. FUNCTIONS OF SODI U M IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION : 

a. Sodium is present in all animals and human beings. In the 
average normal person who weighs about 160 lbs. three ounces 
of Sodium are present. 

b. Free Sodium is needed in all people, but more in certain types 
of people than in others. It is found more in lower types of 
people. Indian babies are Sodium in element, generally, hence, 
they can stand very rough treatment. 

c. Sodium and its compounds act upon the convolutions of the 
brain, especially upon those that control the metabolic func- 
tions. It acts favorably upon the medulla, the blood, the se~ 
cretions,the mucous, and serous membranes, upon the throat, the 
alimentary canal, the secretory glands, the synovial membranes, 
the stomach, the intestinal walls, the spleen, the pancreas, and 
upon albumin metabolism. 

d. Sodium increases the function of osmosis and holds Calcium, al- 
bumin, and fibrin in solution. It has a soluble effect upon 
Calcium in the human bod3r. 



10 

3. F UNCTIONS OF SODIUM I N THE HU I.IAN ^GANIZATI^: (Continued) 

e. Sodium enters into all connective solid tissue, into joints, 
bone tissue, cartilage, f ibro-cartilage, ligaments, synovial 
membranes, into the spleen, the brain, muscles, liver, blood 

' corpuscles, and other parts of the body. 

f . Lymph contains 0,70$, the synovia holds 0.80$, the cartilage 
carries 0.90$, and the brain contains 0.20% of Sodium. 

g. Because of their alkalinity. Sodium salts assist the lymph 
and the blood, giving these fluids their alkaline character- 

' istics. 

h. Sodium is more abundant in flesh-eating animals. Sodium 
carbonate is more abundant in n on— flesh eating animals. 

i. Sodium carbonate is essential for fat metabolism, to break up 
neutral fats into fatty acids and glycerine. In conjunction 
with the pancreatic juice, Sodium carbonate takes up and re- 
tains fat. 

j. Pancreatic juice, in addition, contains a ferment called amyl- 
opsin which, when it comes into contact with the small intes- 
tines, helps to convert the starch into maltose. 

k. Sodium bicarbonate in food form, has a beneficial effect on the 
throat, and naso-larynx. It helps catarrh and catarrhal pus, 
bronchial phlegm, secretions formed on the canal wall, on the 
walls of the stomach, and on those of the chest. 

I. A Sodium diet is valuable in acid states of the stomach, or in 
gout , or in diabetic acidity. Sodium phosphate is excellent 
for an acid state of the stomach. Sodium phosphate is able 
to split up lactic acid and liberate humidity. 

m. All tissues and fluids should be bathed in an alkaline medium. 

n. An ordinary man, under normal conditions, secretes in twenty- 
four hours, between two and three pounds of saliva. 

o. Sodium salts are present in the saliva, (Aids digestion) in 
the bile, (Prevents constipation) and in the lecithin, (In- 
creases brain action). 

p. Sodium-carbonate, Sodium bi-carbonate, Sodium-chloride, and 
other Sodium compounds enter into, and play an important part, 
in human biochemical processes, fluids, and tissues. 

4. CONSTITUTIONS IN '.T HICK SO D IUM I S INHERENTLY : 

a. Excessive: None. Desmogenic: excessive consumption of Sodium. 

b. Deficient: Desmogenic, Nervi -Motive, Marasmic, Atrophic, and 

in all acid constitutions, in most all old people, 
in many babies and children, and in a great many 
very fatty constitutions. 

5. S YMPTOMS WHEN SODIUM IS EX CESSIVE: 

a. Corpse-like paleness, flexibility, wonderful work, activits^ 
and energy, wiriness of constitution, dexterity, cat-like 
movements, keen sense of gravity, panther-like tissue, love of 
athletics 8,nd forest life, or out-door life, anger in the 
morning, dog— like memory for wrongs or injuries, stormy moods, 
spells, notions, and hobbies; periodicity of functions, amour- 
ousness, tendency to fanaticism, or desperado! sm, strong likes 
and dislikes, extreme ideas; tendency to heat strokes, sun 
strokes, sensitiveness to wind, cold, moisture, pneumonia, and 
great recklessness.

happy-minded. 

9. IN FLUENCE OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SODIUM FOODS ON : 

a. Health: Excess of Sodium salts destroys the Oxygen- 

carrying capacity of hemoglobin, diminishes 
tissue oxidation, decreases Nitrogen meta- 
bolism of fat until an akaline obesity and 
anemia develop, increases metabolism of sugar, 
and creates an abnormal appetite for sugar, 
decreases bile action, over-stimulates the 
glycogenic center in the brain; sugar gluttony, 
precipitation of Calcium phosphate, over-alka- 
linity of the blood; alkaline diseases; auto- 
intoxication, indigestion, and growth of germ 
life. 

b. Disposition: Tendency to scandalize others, bitter hatred, 

malice, impatient disposition, stormy moods,

b. Avoid: Sodium and Magnesium. 

13 . VOCATIONS FOR W HICH SODIUM PEOPLE ARE BEST ADAPTED : 
a. Athletics, selling, mechanical, out-door activities. 

14. HELPFUL HINTS: 



a. As a general rule there are no bad results from a continuous 
use of bi-carbonate of soda. The inorganic drug - bi-carbo- 
nate of soda - purchased in a drug store, or advertised tis- 
sue remedies, may have their abnormal value, but it should al- 
ways be remembered that a human being is organic, and not in- 
organic; and that, therefore, organized Sodium bi-carbonate, 
Sodium sulphate, Sodium chloride, Sodium phosphate, or Sodium 
in whatever form it may be, as found in foods, is always the 
genuine article.

2. When infants vomit. 

3. When there is a tendency to gout, or rheumatism. 

4. When the front part of the head aches ^ 

5. When there is stiffness in the vertex, or bloating.

±4 

b. Rob the stomach and bowels of their food salts of Sodium, and 
soon an intestinal flora will flourish, whose number may run 
up into billions, 

c. When a person gets sleepy after meals it indicates that the 
digestion is slow, and that the Sodium supply is low. 

d. Sodium salts are used up in greater quantities in warm, sultry 
weather. They are washed out of the system by ?>rater drinking. 

e. Heavy physical work calls for more Sodium foods in the diet. 
Fever, gas, great excitement, passion, perspiration, all drain 
the body of Sodium salts. 

f. Self-abuse uses up Sodium salts, the neurolin in the brain, 
the Iron in the hemoglobin, and lowers Nitrogen metabolism. 

g. Pregnancy calls for Iron, Calcium, Silicon, and Sodium in 
abundance, Catamenia uses up Sodium salts. The spleen 
drinks Sodium salts like a thirsty man drinks water. 

h. The bile, gastric juices, the blood, the intestinal and other 
secretions, all call for Sodium, and more Sodium. 

I. Calcium metabolism calls for Sodium salts, for Sodium keeps 
Calcium in solution. 

j. The blood, liver, muscle, brain, corpuscles, fibrous tissue, 
cartilage, synovia, blood serum, lymph; in fact, nearly all 
body fluids call for Sodium salts. 

k, A fatty, starchy diet calls for Sodium; or fermentation and 
acid formation take place. 

1. So soon as there is acid and waste matter working, one upon 
the other, germs are prolific. 

m. A. Sodium diet is necessary in the diabetic patient in connection 
with certain other important alkaline salts. Such Sodium 
bi-carbonate as comes from plants growing near large bodies of 
salt water is preferable. 

n. Such greens as watercress, okra, celery, or other Sodium- 
containing juices, are excellent for the patient manifesting 
Sodium hunger. 

o,.Prof. Metchnikoff recommended Bulgarian buttermilk, saying 

that it contained friendly germs, and that those friendly germs 
would devour other germs in the bowels. He also recommended 
that the large bowels should be cut out, indicating that the 
Almighty did not know His business when He made the large 
bowels. If Prof. Metchnikoff had adopted a. rich Sodium diet, 
he would not be dead now.

INSTITUTE CF HUI.IAN NATURE STUDIES, CHI CAGO, I LLINOIS . 
LESSON SHEET . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . SUBJECT-IRON (FERRUH) . 

1. IRON IN THE T.IINERAL AND VE GETABLE KINGDOI.'S : 

a. Iron is found native in small quantities, but is chiefly de- 
rived from ores as magnetite, hematite, and limonite, which 
are abundant and very widel}? - distributed. It is an essen- 
tial constituent in plants and animals, and is found in sea- 
water and mineral water, 

b. Iron exists in the sun and stars, and comes from space to the 
earth in the form of meteorites. 

c. Iron has a great deal to do with the development of the 
chlorophyl, or the green coloring matter in plants, by the 

. agency of which sugary substances are formed. The chloro- 
phyl corresponds relatively to the hemoglobin in the red 
corpuscles of the blood. Without chlorophyl, plants would 
be unable to manufacture their food from inorganic substances, 
but would be under the necessity of living as parasites or 
saprophytes, as is the case with bacteria, mushrooms, etc. 

2. IRON, ITS NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS : 

a. Iron is the most important of the metallic elements. It is 
silvery-white when pure, and very tenacious, malleable, and 
ductile. 

b. As found in commerce, it is never pure, but is combined with 
small quantities of Carbon, Phosphorus, Silicon, Sulphur, etc. , 
with which it forms important eutectic alloys, viz: Cast iron, 
wrought iron, bar iron, and steel. 

c. The salts of iron are largely used in medicine as tonics. 

d. ANTIDOTE: Bi-carbonates in water, ice, opium. 

e. Iron is a tv/in brother to Ox3^gen, and is an affinity to Oxy- 
gen. Metallic iron is not converted into hemoglobin. It 
may enter the blood-stream to a certain degree and give a 
temporary impetus to vital life, but soon it is thrown out of 
the system through the intestinal epithelium, perhaps through 
the kidneys.. In the latter case, it will do harm to the 
kidneys. Iron that is found in food is organized Iron, and 
is more readily converted into hemoglobin in the bone marrow, 
after which it is ready for its transportation to the liver, 
where the hemoglobin becomes duly qualified for its high 
function of oxidation of blood and tissue. If Iron does not 
pass through all the stages of hemoglobinogenesis, and if it 
stays in the blood-stream of the liver, spleen, and bone mar- 
row only for a time, without passing through the metabolic pro- 
cesses of organic life, finally to be eliminated by the intes- 
tines, it only stimulates oxidative energy in the blood, with- 
out entering into the hum of organic tissue life as an Iron 
compound. 

f. Iron is the most astringent of all metals. It contracts 
when it is cold, and expands when it is warm, or hot. 



3. FU NCTIONS OF IRON IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION : 

a; Iron stimulates the sex function. It supplies the blood salts. 

b. In the average normal, healthy man who weighs 160 lbs., 2 ounces 
of Iron are found. 

c. Iron is the most important of all blood salts. It is a tonic. 
It supports vital energy, increases elimination, generates life, 
pleasure, health, response. It increases heat, temper, sentiment. 
Approximately 3.23 grams of Iron are found in the blood, or 
about enough Iron.-'to make a good sized nail. This small quan- 
tity of Iron, nevertheless, has an exceedingly important func- 
tion to perform. It is the gateway through which Oxygen enters 
the system, for Iron alwajrs combines with Oxygen in the pre- 
sence of moisture, whether it be in the human blood or else- 
where. 

d. It oxidizes the blood and promotes the generative functions. 
If there were no Iron in the blood, the body could not absorb 
Oxygen from the air in the lungs, and a man would suffocate in 
the same way that fire goes out when the Oxygen supply is cut 
off. In the absence of Iron in the hemoglobin of the red cor- 
puscles of the blood, animal life would not prosper very long; 
metabolism would, at once, become faulty. The oxidation of the 
blood in the lungs depends upon the Iron, or hematin in the 
hemoglobin of the red corpuscles of the blood, A normal quan- 
tity of Iron in the blood and tissues means greater free Oxy- 
gen consumption,. and more Oxygen in blood and tissues, which, in 
turn, means a higher degree of magnetic life, animation, and vi- 
gor. 

e. Carbonic oxide is carried off from the body through the com- 
bined action of Oxygen and Sodium. 

f. Oxygen is a generator of heat. Bodily heat is mainly generat- 
ed by the muscles, acted upon by Oxygen. TTherever Oxygen is 
at work, heat is generated, whether slowly, or rapidly. People 
who generate animal heat in abundance are rich in Oxygen, Iron, 
Potassium, and Chlorin. Such people never suffer from catarrh, 
nor from cold feet. 

g. Iron and Oxygen, when normally and vigorous^ active, enable the 
parents to transmit their highest qualities to children; for 
Oxygen arouses every cell, increases life force.,nerve energy, 
sex magnetism, and transmissive power. It is better to have 
Oxygen and Iron in the blood than to study 1,000 volumes of 
eugenics; Iron enables parents to produce greater offspring. 
Oxygen fires up sentiment. Iron urges the lover to a more 
romantic proposal. 

h. Iron and Oxygen are natural beauty specialists, and will increase 
charm, beauty, and magnetism. That lady who has Iron and Oxy- 
gen in abundance in her veins and arteries, will never need any 
face powder, and will need no instructions in beauty culture. 
Her eyes are magnetic, her cheeks glowing, her arteries active 
and elastic, her blood rich and warm, and she has great power to 
attract the opposite sex. 

i. Youthfulness is closely associated with Iron and Oxygen, That 
man who has plenty of Oxygen and Iron in his system looks young 
when he is old. Again, when oxidation is perfect, cuts, bruises, 
injuries heal rapidly. A person recuperates more quickly from 
an illness because of the power of self-healing in the very blood. 

j. Iron is mainly found in the coloring matter of the blood, in the 
lymph, in the bile, in the gastric juice, in the pigment of the 
eye,skin r and hair. It exists in the human body as a ferric 
oxide, always in combination with organic compounds. Iron is . 
utilized in the chromogenic processes taking place in the hemo- 
globin of the red corpuscles of the blood. Iron is stored 
in the body and is utilized over and over again in the manu- 
factor of new Oxygen-carrying blood discs, or corpuscles.

a. Foods: Eat foods containing Iron,Magnesium,Chlorin, 

Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Silicon, Oxygen, I od in. 
Omit foods containing Sulphur, Carbon, Hydro- 
gen, and Nitrogen. 

b. Climate: Live in a high altitude, or in the hills - a 

high sky — where the air is breezy and atten- 
uated. 

c. Mental Exercise: Do not use the brain. 

&. Physical Exercise: Engage in out-door physical exercises, also 

active breathing exercises. 

PEOPLE V/HO REQUIRE IRON FOODS : 

a. In abundance: Neurogenic, Pathetic, Desmogenic, Carboferic, 

Nitnopheric, Atrophic, Pargenic; also all sick, 
and old people. 

b. Very little : Oxypheric and Myogenic. 

5- INFLUENCE OF AN EXCESSIVE A MOU NT OF IRON FOOD S ON: 

a. Health:"" Blind spells, blood pressure, excessive nerve pres- 

sure, intracranial pressure, too much blood in 
liver. The specific gravity of the blood is too 
high, running up on the scale until the person's 
life is in danger* 

b. Disposition: Lethargic. 

I . INFLUENCE OF A DEFICIENT AMOUNT OF IRON FOODS ON : 

a. Health: The blood is impoverished; disease sets in; the 

tissues lack muscle Iron; the person is neither 
sick nor well; but is more sick than well, and 
really is a walking sick person, 

I 1 . DISEASE TENDENCIES OF PEOPLE IN \7H0M IRON IS IN EXCESS : 

1. Trouble with digestive function, bowels, kidneys, and blood; 

2. The fibrin, albumin, and solids are excessive in the system; 

3. The blood is produced be^rond the needs of the sjrstera; 

4. Blood pressure is increased above the normal level; 

5. Danger of rupture of arterioles, veins, and blood pockets; 

6. Solids become excessive, and portal system becomes congested; 
3. Palpitation of heart, tingling in ears, nose—bleed; 

8. Dilation of blood vessels, thick blood, congested veins; 

9. Leads to hemorrhages; specific gravity of blood changes; 

10. Oxygen consumption becomes excessive; the eyes bulge; 

11. Tongue and teeth are discolored, and digestion is disturbed; 

12. Thirst is unquenchable; headache and nausea set in; 

13. Excreta is darkened; gastro-intestinal disturbances; 

14. Difficulty of respiration; oppressive internal heat; 

15. Finger technique is not so good as usual; 

16. Iron, being an astringent, binds, contracts, and draws; 

17. This internal astringency affects nerves, blood, canal walls, 
arteries, and heart muscles. 

18. Contraction of heart muscles affects the pulse; 

19. Constricting the arteries increases the blood pressure; 
2C . By astringing the bowels, costive habits appear; 

SI. B3^ dra¥/ing the muscles within a smaller compass, urea is 
increased, and the bladder is contracted; resulting in 
frequent micturition.

15. VOCATIONS FOR WHICH IRON PEOPLE ARE BEST ADAPTED : 

1. Promotion. 6. Regulation of traffic. 

2. Managing, 7'. Using other people. 

3. Commerce, 8'- Horse-breeding, and cattle-breeding, 

4. Oratory . ~9. Promotion of every kind. 

5. Transportation. 10. Financiering. 

14. HELPFUL HINTS : 

a* Deficient Iron is caused by - 

i; Diseased heredity. 2. Disposition. 
3, Over-work, 4, Illness. 5. Old-age. 

b. An Iron diet is good for the "blues", or for low oxidation. 

c. The mucous and serous membranes, bile, urine, skin, and in- 
testines are the agents through v;hich Iron is eliminated 
from the body. It is mainly discharged through the bowels, 
as a 3ijlpho- albuminate. In the stomach it is changed into 
a chlorid, and enters the blood as an albuminate; being 
transported by the white corpuscles in the blood plasman. 

d. The spleen, marrow, and liver are the Ferric (Iron) store 
houses of the body . When the Iron supply runs too low, 
these organs feel the effect first. Mien the blood, tis- 
sues, and lungs suffer, if Iron is not again supplied in 
no rmal quant i t i e s , 

e. Iron and Oxygen stir everything to action. Iron and Oxygen 
mean vim, stir, action, and energy in the functions; opti- 
mism and enthusiasm to the mind, and a high degree of per- 
sonal magnetism. Iron and Oxygen stimulate functions^ en- 
courage ambition, stir up sentiment, increase reason, swell 
passion, arouse appetite, improve memory, paint t&e faded 
cheek, increase masculine power, and feminine charms, 

f ♦ Iron is absorbed mainly by the duodenum, after being convert, 
ed by the stomach, into an Iron chlorid. It is not so read- 
ily extracted from food that has been digested by the 
stomach first, as from fruit juices containing Iron. 

g. When Iron, as contained in fruit juice, enters, the duodenum 
contracts and holds the liquid until the Iron compound con- 
tained in the fruit juice shall have oeen absorbed, which it 
does more completely than it possibly can extract it from 
solid food; because much of the Iron in solid food escapes 
the assimilative efforts of the duodenum. 









20 

h. If metallic Iron be excreted by the kidneys, it injures 
those organs. It is unwise to inject inorganic compounds 
into the blood-stream, as they may injure the kidneys, and 
have a detrimental effect in other ways; nor is this nec- 
essary, because certain berries and other foods carry those 
important Iron compounds. 

i. Strong doses of metallic Iron have a costive effect upon the 
bowels, a styptic effect upon the arteries and veins, and up- 
on the vibratory action of ~ the cells, resulting in stupidity. 

j. In testing the effects of inorganic Iron on mice. Dr. Socin 
fed drug store Iron to one group of mice, in the form of 
Iron-chlorid; and fed another group on free Iron food, plus 
raw egg yolk, (Egg yolk is rich in* Iron). All mice fed on 
the drug store Iron were dead before the 33d day of the ex- 
periment; but the mice fed on the foods containing Iron 
lived and gained weight. 

k. Dr. Lelensky, another experimentalist, fee doge pollened 

rice. In one day the hemoglobin in one dog fell from 18 to 
15* In another dog, it fell from 14 to 11. Anemia became 
more and more pronounced in the dogs, as the experiment con- 
tinued; and, on the 18th day, some of the dogs died. 

15. WHEN AN IRON DIET IS HEEDED : 

i; Palpitation of the heart upon arising. 

2. Perspiration of face on one side; while other side is dry, 
and perhaps flushed. Tendency to colds in the head. 

3. Face pale at one time, and flushed at another time, and 
murky, or yellowish, or pale, or gray, at still another

INSTITUTE OF HUMAN NATURE STUDIES, CHICAGO, ILLINOI S. 
LESSON SHEET, COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . SU3JEC T-CH LORI N . 

1. CHLORIN IN THE MIN E RAL AND VEGETABLE KINGDOMS : 

a. Chlorin occurs in common salt. This salt is found mainl3r in 
ocean water and salty lakes. It occurs also in the soil, in 
certain strata of the earth, and in the vegetable kingdom; as 
well as in the animal kingdom; also in mineral waters; even 
in rain-water. 

b, Chlorin is a non— metallic element discovered by Scheele in 
1774. In nature, it is found in a state of combination. 
United with Sodium, it (Chlorin) occurs very largely as 
chloride of Sodium (Common Salt). 

2 - CHLORIN, ITS NATURE AN D C HARACTERISTICS : 

a. The electrical character of Chlorin is negative. It has a 
remarkable affinity for Hydrogen which enables it to decom- 
pose compounds containing Hydrogen; hence, its power for 
bleaching, de-colorizing, and disinfecting. Chlorin is a 
powerful deodorizer, and has great germicidal power. 

b. Chlorin is a greenish-yellow, very poisonous, liquefiable, 
gaseous element with an offensive odor. It has a bad af- 
fect upon wall paper and colored fabrics; hence, it is not 
used much for cleaning fine fabrics. 

c. Chlorin is valuable for bleaching, especially when aided by 
dew, air, and ozone. Those who bleach have learned to lay 
the washed fabrics on the grass for better results. 

d. Chlorin is highly caustic, and its disagreeable odor pro- 
duces a suffocating cough, which is relieved by inhaling 
ammonia. It is a very heavy gas - nearly 2-J- times heavier 
than air. 

e. Chlorin combines with Phosphorus, or with arsenic to form 
flame. It has a powerful affinity for water, and is solu- 
ble in water. 

f . The antidote for Chlorin is Magnesia, also white of egg. 

g. Chlorin combines very energetically with the metals. It 
has an intense affinity for Hydrogen, which Chlorin attracts 
from any moist body, or humid air. Hence, it attracts the 
water from a Hydripheric person suffering from obesity. 

\7hen Chlorin consumption is great - as in a Marasraic person — 
that person will be as lean and dry as wood, and as caustic 
in wit as an Irishman. 

h. Chloroform is a Chlorin product, produced through the chemi- 
cal action of Chlorin on alcohol. Chloroform possesses hyp- 
notic and anaesthetic properties, and produces remarkable 
symptoms in the patient; such as blood pressure, surface 
breathing, fall of temperature, paralysis of the brain, cord, 
heart, and medulla, also depression of the blood vessels. 
Comtinued administration of chloroform increases the excre- 
tion of sulphate, phosphate, and Nitrogen, which results in 
fatty degeneration of heart, liver, kidneys, and cardiac 
ganglia. Chloroform aids peristaltis and the expulsion of 
gas from the stomach. 



24 

3. FUNCTIONS OF CHLORIN Iff THB HUMAN ORGANIZATION : 

a. There are one and three-fourths pounds of Chlorin in the 
average normal man weighing one hundred and sixty pounds. 
Organic Chlorin consumption, however> is a different process; 
being a function that is taking place in every person. 

"b. Chlorin is found as a compound in the tissues and fluids of 
the body; always exerting* a beneficial effect upon metabolism 
and health when present in normal quantities. 

c. Chlorin increases bodily heat, and the peristaltic movement 
in the stomach and bowels* It liberates internal heat in 
the muscles - for Chlorin acts strongly upon the muscular 
system. It excites the sexual system, but does not 
strengthen it, 

d. Chlorin counteracts tetanus, drunkenness, and intestinal 
colic. In the form of hydrochloric acid, Chlorin aids di- 
gestion and nutrition. It overpowers intestinal infection, 
and prevents bacterial fermentation. It prevents cell nu- 
trition by a process called osmosis. 

e. Both Chlorin and Sodium are lowered by a diet of vegetables 
and greens. For every ounce of Potassium eliminat- 
ed from the body, fifty-five to sixty ounces of Sodium and 
Chlorin are eliminated. A lack of Sodium and Chlorin re- 
sults in bloating, gas generation, ill health, perhaps even 
deaths Chlorin aids urination. The urea is temporarily 
increased, which is the case with chlorid of Sodium, phos- 
phate, and sulphate when there is a normal quantity of 
Chlorin in the' body. 

f* Organic Chlorin makes the tissues dense and elastic. It 
knits tissue cells together closely. It excludes water, 
fat and starch. 

g. Chlorin aids absorption of new blood material, and transfers 
waste products from tissues and blood. It promotes elimina- 
tion of water from the tissues, skin, and lungs. Under the 
influence of Chlorin, from six to ten pounds of water may be 
eliminated in a single day. Were it not for the pressive, 
contractive, extractive, osmotic pressure, exerted" by Chlorin 
on cell, tissue, and fluid, the impurity, germs, and pus 
weald stay in the bod-;, and the nan would soon die in* his own 
sewage, 

*• CONSTITUTIONS IN WHICH CHLORIIT IS INHERENTLY . 

a. Excessive? Nervi-Motive, i.larasmic, lledeic, (es-oecially Ilaras- 

mic). 

b. Deficient: All lean people, due to excessive Chlorin con- 

sumption.

food will eventually develop into calcic harden- 
ing. Pathetic,Lipopheric,and Pargenic should 
eat Chlorin food, but only to a moderate extent. 
Oxypheric require only small amount. Marasmic

a. Military occupations, surgery, gardening, glass work, traf- 
fic, drugs and poisons, scavenger work, butchering, meat and 
sausage, industries. 

14. HELPFUL HINTS t 

eu The following conditions use up the Chlorin too rapidly: 
Heavy work in the sunshine, or in dry heat. 
Excessive water drinking. 
A vegetable diet. 
Cold climate ; strong winds. 
Scurvy. 

b. Sodium-chlorid works in cartilage. Without this compound, 
no cartilage could be made. 

c. Chlorin and Sodium combined help internal lavation and the 
distribution of water throughout the system. There can be 
no equilibrium of humidity, and no exchange in the various 
fluids of the watery element, unless there is normal quan- 
tity of Sodium and Chlorin salts at work in the tissues 
and fluids. 

d. A lack of sodium and Chlorin salts results in the precipita- 
tion of certain other important salts which leads to lowerod 
tissuo metabolism of tho* albumin. This may result in albu- 
minuria, or dropsy, and perhaps death. 

e. 200 grams of Sodium-chlorid, or more, are found in the vari- 
ous tissues and fluids of a well proportioned man. This 
Chlorin compound regulates the phenomena of difusion, or it 
favors the transportation of old and new material. 

f. water is not absorbed into the blood, if there is a lack of 
Sodium-chlorid, A normal amount of Sodium-chlorid in the 
blood plasma enables the red corpuscles to maintain their 
shape and structure, by maintaining their water equilibrium, 
or the humidity which must enter into their composition. 

g. A lack of Sodium-chlorid in the system weakens the red blood 
comuscles*

LE SSON SHEET , COURSE-POODS & CHEMICALS . 5U3JECT-CALCIUH . 

1. CAL CIUM II IHE MINERAL M P VEGETABL E KINGDOMS : 
a%~*CaTcium is found in all soils," almost without exception. 

Also in the ash of plants, in mineral waters, in water gen- 
erally, especially in hard water. 
b. Calcium is" the metal present in chalk, stucco, and other com- 
pounds of lime. It may be obtained by passing a powerful 
current of voltaic electricity through fused chlorid of Cal- 
cium, when the metal separates into minute globules. 

2. CALCIUM, ITS NATURE AND _ CHARACTERISTICS : 

a. It is a yellowish-white metal, can be rolled into sheets, 
and hammered into leaves. It is intermediate between lead 
and gold in hardness. 

b. At ordinary temperature, Calcium slowly tarnishes by Oxygen; 
and, when placed in contact with water, it rapidly decompos- 
es the water, forming lime (CaO), and the Hydrogen escapes. 

c. To be kept bright, Calcium must be kept under the surface 
of naphtha. At a red heat, Calcium melts and burns with a 
drizzling white light, accompanied by scintillations. 

&• Calcium is usually associated with Sulphur, Silicon, and 
Carbon, indicating a strong affinity between itself and 
those elements. It has also a strong affinity for Oxygen. 

e. As a carbonate, Calcium forms marble, limestone, chalk. 
Lime is nothing but a Calcium-oxide. 

f . It is one and one-half times as heavy as water. It is duc- 
tile, oxidizablo, malleable, soluble in water to some 
extent, and highly soluble in dilute acid. 

g. Some of the more important Calcium compounds are the oxid, 
hydroxid, fluoriil, chloric!, sulphate, nitrate, carbonate, 
phosphate, and silicate. 

h. Limestone, when pure, contains fifty-seven parts of lime 

and forty-three parts of carbonic acid. Limestone, however, 
is not pure, for aluminum, Hagnesium, Silicon, Iron, and 
other elements are generally present. 

i. The presence of carbonic acid in limestone gives the stone 
its power of effervescence, as seen at soda fountains. 

j. Lime is the tiller. of the soil, the soil fertilizer. It de- 
composes vegetable matter, and compels the liberation of 
plant vitality. It sets free the soil alkalies for plant 
growth. 

k. Lime is active in neutralizing oxalic acid, a poison elabo- 
rated in nutritional plant processes. In accomplishing 
this function, lime becomes a carbonate. 

1. Hens lay more and better eggs with harder shells, when they 
are fed ground bones, cracked oyster shells, and other feed 
rich in Calciumi 

nu Lime is used in many arts and industries, as, for instance - 
leather, soap, washing soda, metallurgy, neutralization of 
acids. It is used extensively, also, in mortar, cement, etc, 

n. Lime is valuable as an antacid to destroy irTert, noxious, 
vegetable matter, etc. It is used to decompose heavy clay 
soils for fertilizing numoses.

3, FUNCTIONS OF CALCIUM IN THE HUI1AN ORGANIZATION : 

a. Calcium travels from the rod-: to human blood and bone. Cal- 
cium is derived from decompoased rocks, which is converted 
into soil; then the soil converts the Calcium into plants; 
plants transform it into seed fruits and vegetables: man, by 
the process of digestion, transforms and converts the Calcium 
in seeds, fruits and vegetables into human blood and bone. 
Thus Calcium is converted into libraries of poetry, science, 
inventions, philosophy, by the marvelous processes of nature 
and man. 

b. Between four and five pourrl s of CalcL urn enter the human body* 
Nichols says that five lbs*, of phosphate of lime, one pound 
of carbonate of lime, three ounces of fluorid of Calcium, are 
found in the body of a man weighing 154 lbs. 

c. Calcium combines with Silicon, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Fluorin, 
/and gelatin, in the structures of bones and teeth. Berzeli- 
us, the great chemist, gives us the following analysis of hu- 
man bone: 

Gelatin . . -„.... 32.17 phosphate of lime ... 5i;o4 

Fluorid of Calcium . . . . . 2'.CrO Chi o rid of Sodium ... ~Tm20 

Blood vessels .%... li!3 Carbonate of lime ..• 11,50 

Phosphate of Magnesium . 1,16 

d* Bones are the most enduring part of man, nearly as strong as 
cast iron, and twice as strong as the stfcurd}' - oak. The chem- 
ist tells us that bones would last over four thousand years 
without being fed. The heart would last only thirty days 
without talcing nutrition from the body, 

e« Without Calcium a man could not move, act, walk, nor stand 
up. He would fall together like an empty bag, and be as 
shapeless as a sponge, Uhen professor Rice fed chicken a 
Calcium-free diet, the chickens were, at last, not able to 
stand on their feet. Their legs were twisted almost into 
knots, 

f, YJhen Calcium Phosphate, Carbonate, Silicate, and other bone 
salts are lacking; the bones and teeth suffer, rickets and 
other bone diseases set in, 

g* Calcium carbonate is found in the ear stones (Otoliths), 

h. Calcium salts are important in the coagulation of milk. Pre- 
cipitate the Calcium from the milk, and cheese-making is im- 
possibly. 

i. Calcium Lactate is of value in serious operations, by caus- 
ing the blood to coagulate at the surface of an injury, thus 
preventing a person from bleedings to death, A man whJise 
system lacks Calcium Salts bleeds to death from a cut, or an 
operation? or from the extraction of a tooth. 

3- An insufficient Calcium supply results in ugly scars, from 
wounds, cuts, and operations, 

k. Were it not for Calcium, the walls of the arteries and veins 
would be so weak, that the man would suffer from hemorrhages. 
Indeed, tendencies to all sorts of hemorrhages are the re- 
sult of Calcium and Iron hunger. 

1. Calcium affects the pulsation of the heart. If the heart 
of an animal be immersed in a solution of lime, the pulsa- 
tions are increased, and continue long after the heart has 
been dissected from the body. 

m» Calcium is concerned with almost all muscular movements.

3. FUNCTIONS OF CALCIUM IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION : (Continued) 
n* Calcium is concerned with vital processes, for the cells of 
the body do not thrive long without Calcium* Calcium in- 
creases the life of the cell, and calls out its properties. 
Bony people are the most long-lived people that we have, 
o. Free Calcium in the body fluids saves its possessor from the 

ravages of many germ species and dangerous diseases, 
p. Calcium prevents Oxalic Acid poisoning. So necessary are 
Calcium Salts to the system, that the body will tear down 
its own structures in order to obtain Calcium material for 
the maintenance and integrity of the internal secretions. 
When the Calcium Salts have been extracted from a tooth, the 
sub-structure is undermined, the enamel breaks, and hostile 
germs do the rest. 

$• Sugar hastens decay of teeth, not that sugar affects teeth 
directly, but sugar drinks the Calcium. Ordinary water 
takes up one part of Calcium Salts in each one thousand 
parts of water. Add plenty of sugar to the water, and the 
water takes up about forty times as much Calcium as it other* 
wise would. 

r. Children whose diet is deficient in Calcium, have trouble 
with bones, tendons, hip bones, feet, arteries, skull bones, 
sutures, teeth, and other solid structures. They suffer 
from scurvy, softening of the bones, rickets, catarrh, and 
tuberculosis. 

s. One and one-half grams of Calcium Salts are needed a day. 
To obtain this a man would have to eat about eight loaves of 
white bread a day. One quart of milk, or less, woul-d fur- 
nish the required quantity of Calcium. 

t # Calcium Phosphate is found "in bone, also in the blood corpu- 
scles to the extent of 0.114 parts a thousand; also in car- 
tilage, fluids, and certain tissue. Were it not for the 
acid phosphate of sodium, Calcium Phosphate could not be 
held in solution in the urine, but would harden and form 
stone in the bladder. 

u. Calcium broth, or milk cloths, are excellent as a dressing 
for indolent ulcers, chronic eczema, also for swellings, in- 
juries, congestion, inflammation, contusions. 

v.'^Glycerophosphoric acid exists in nerve matter. Foods con- 
taining such salts help neurasthenia, phosphaturia, goitre, 
convalescents, exhausting fevers, and nervousness. 

w. Calcium inheres latency, but possesses potentiality. Like 
the winter apple, the Calcium boy ripens slowly. 

x. Under the influence of Calcium, the brain gives up its know- 
ledge; transmission is greater; poetry grander; science more 
profound; genius more brilliant;* and concentration more ef- 
ficient, Vihen a person has Calcium in abundance in the 
system, he needs no memory courses, and when he lacks Calci- 
um, memory courses are a mere mockery. 

y. Calcium diet, or a milk diet, is a peril in old age, result- 
ing in hardening, arterio- sclerosis, and other ailments. 

z# Defective blood coagulability calls for a rich Calcium diet.

12 . C HEMICALS IN FOODS THAT PEOPL E WITH EXCESS CALCIUM SHOULD : 

a. Eat: Carbo-hydrates, Fluorin, and Sodium. 

b. Avoid: Calcium-containing foods. 

13 . VOCATIONS FOR WHICH C ALCIUM PE O PLE ARE BEST ADAPTED : 
a.. Science, engineering, construction. 

14. HELPFUL H INTS: 

a. Sunshine lessens the amount of carbonic acid in the atmosohere; 
hence, sunlight has a good effect on the Calcium-hunger patient 
but strong artificial light has a bad effect upon his eyes and 
eyeballs. 

b. A Calcium-hunger patient is sensitive to atmospheric changes, 
changes in the electrical tension of the atmosphere, to cloudy 
weather, raw night air. His chest is heavy in moist weather. 

c. He retires early, and" arises early. His bodiLy heat decreas- 
es toward evening, but increases toward morning — the opposite 
of the Exesthesic. 

d. He eats more than he can digest, for his food passes through 
him like straw through a thrashing machine. 

e. He is fond of animal food, potatoes, fat gravy, salt, stimu- 
lants, condiments, and strong drinks. 

f. He needs a warm diet. His circulation is sluggish; he is a 
man of pus. 

g. He has strong amatory cravings, but a weak sexuality. 

h. The child that suffers from Calcium-hunger is fleshy as an 
infant. His bones are small, thin and soft.. 

i. Calcium is an excellent deodorizer, disinfectant, purification 
agent, and vitalizer. 

j. A rich Calcium diet has a beneficial effect upon ulcers, infec- 
tion, anthrax, fistula, eczema, psoriasis, purigo, lichen, 
fish-skin disease, erysipelas. 

1 5 . W HEN A CALCIUM DI ET IS NEEDED : 

a. \7hen the head feels full; when headache is one-sided; when the 
head is too large in proportion to the bod}^; 'when a dread 
creeps over a patient as night approaches; when there is a 
painful solicitude concerning the condition of self; when the 
atria of the heart become hypertrophic; when the inner brain 
throbs; when a hard lift produces discomfort; when the patient 
does not believe what he expects; when the cranial sutures 
fail to grow; 

b. when bones are small and soft; when frothy saliva runs from 
the mouth; when teeth decay; when there is obesity associated 
with cystic goitre, and perhaps dropsy; when consumption germs 
thrive in lung tissue; when polypi and growths form; when 
glands swell and suppurate; when lymph glands are scrofulous; 
when fractures fail to heal;

15. WHEN A CALCIUM DIET IS NEEDED: (Continued) 

c. when the face is bloated, wrinkled, old; ,when the body is 
sore; when the face and neck perspire; when the ribs bend, 
bones arch, shafts thicken or swell; when rickets prevail* 
when teething is slow; 

d. when there is a singing murmur in the ears like the roar of 
a watermill, or the ringing of bells, or the wind of a 
forest; when the patient has a musty odor; 

e. when one limb is shorter than the other, or grows to another 
limb; when the tongue is sore at the tip; when saliva runs 
as in the idiot; when there is a strong appetite for salt; 

f. when the patient bleeds easilv; v;hen the ears ache and run; 
when the complexion is pasty; when there is a. crawling in 
the arms; when moisture aggravates your ailments; 

g. when the os uteri, or the genitals are sore or sting; when 
the throat is raw or whistling; when pus forms somewhere and 
calls for so much Chlorin that it cannot be supplied, and 
there is a salty taste, later a sweet taste, and still later 
a bloody taste*. 

h. when abscesses form; when knees swell; when there are night 
sweats and clammy perspiration; when pressure causes numb- 
ness; when scars ache; when a person is sensitive to jars; 
when children are late in walking; 

i. when the eyeballs are sore, nose-tip cold, teeth sensitive 
to cold wind; when there is a tendency to bleeding* when the 
groin aches; when the limbs are weary; 

3. when breathing is short and labored; when the nape of the 
neck, or the throat pit, pulsate; when blood vessels echo:- 
the heartbeat; 

k. when the spine curves; when bones seem bruised; when the 
chest sinks at the side; when the nose is stuffed more or 
less; when bones are tender; perhaps cold in certain spcts; 
when the chest is oppressed; 

1. when the bronchi are filled with mucus; when the clavicle 
and sternum are tender; when the nail roots are swollen — 

ra. AT ALL SUCH TIMES A CALCIUM DIET IS IMPERATIVE. .

INSTI TUTE OF HU MAN NATURE S TUDIES , CHICAGO, ILLINOIS , . 
LE SSON SH EET. C OURSE-FOODS & CHELICAL S. SUBJEC T -POTASS IUI.I . 

1. POTASSIUM IN THE HINERAL MID VE GET ABLE KINGDOMS : 

a. Potassium is found in rocks, soils, plants, most foods, in 
explosives, in the tissue of animals and human beings. 

b. Potash is Potassium carbonate. When Potash is purified it 
is called pearl ash. Potash is much used in glass and soap 
industries. Potassium hydrate, (caustic potash), is so cor- 
rosive that it eats into animal and plant tissue. Being 
strongly alkaline, it restores reddened litmus paper to blue. 
It has great attraction for humidity, and attracts it from 
the air. It is fusible at three hundred degrees. Caustic 
potash counteracts bites of dogs and venomous snakes, de- 
strojrs fungous growths, obliterates warts, and is used in 
chemistry, in manufacturing industries, in the making of 
soft soaps, and for ether purposes. Potassium chlorid, 
known also as muriate of potash, is obtained from Potassium- 
carrying metals, marine plants, brine water, sea water, and 
is found in certain foods. Potassium bicarbonate is used 
much in effervescent drinks. Potassium sulphate is used in 
manure. Potassium chlorid is used in calico printing; in 
the manufacture of lucifer matches. Potassium cyanide is 
used in photography. 

c. By studying the growth of plants we learn that, in the ab- 
sence of Potassium, crops are backward, and fruit does not 
develop. Potassium promotes the development of stems, 
flowers, and fruit, and the maturing of the plant. Its pre- 
sence in the soil, in abundance, protects plants from a 
great manlp plant diseases and germ species. 

2. POTAS SIUM, ITS NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS : 

a. Potassium has the symbol "K". meaning - Kalium. It is a 
bluish-white and silvery metal, and so light that it floats 
like cork. At thirty-two degrees it is hard and brittle; 
at fifty degrees it is malleable; at one hundred and fifty 
degrees it becomes a lio x uid. Its affinity for Oxygen is so 
great, when it is exposed to Oxygen, that it becomes covered 
with an oxid film. It has power to conduct electricity the 
same as other common metals, It is alkaline in properties, 
a powerful neutralization agent, an excellent preservative, 
a cooling and antiseptic element, and also very poisonous. 
It has high explosive properties, and is used much in the 
manufacture of gunpowder." 

b. Potassium assimilation is greater in some plants than in 
others; Potassium plants are strongly charged with Potassium. 
The birch is a potash plant. The "wood of the birch contain;: 
the best potash known. Birch leaves have a bitter taste, 
indicating a liberal amount of potash. All potash-carrying 
foods have a bitter taste. Dried olives are especially bit- 
ter, as are many vegetables, greens, and salads. A pound 

of potatoes contains about one-fourth of an ounce of potash. 
Those potash salts are found in the skin and at the surface 
of the potato. Potassium is the enemy of scurvy. This 
disease is unknown among people who eat baked potatoes, yel- 
low corn, and other Potassium foods. The Potassium and 
Sodium in grapes, cucumbers, potatoes, and other plant foods. 



unite with tartaric acid contained in then and form a 
£ drum-Potassium tartrate, having highly laxative food pro- 
perties. 
c> It has been proven that potash is intimately connected with 
the construction of carbo-hydrates, (sugar and starches) in 
plants, but in what way is not definitely known, 

3- FUNCTIONS OF POTASSIUM IN THE HUMA N ORGANIZATION : 

a. Potassium is found in the human cadaver to the extent of 
about three ounces and three-quarters. During life, this 
element is constantly needed and utilized in the tissues for 
various purposes. How much Potassium a man utilizes and 
eliminates during life is not known. 

b. Potassium finds its way into the tissues of all people, but 
it is more active in the functions of some people than in 
others. When there is considerable of Potassium in the tis- 
sues, there is a greater amount of Oxygen present in the tis- 
sues, producing greater Oxygen activity, life and growth in 
the tissues, greater blood alkalinity, a stronger system, and 
a more efficient muscular equipment; heat generation in the 
muscles is greater, muscular power is increased, fibrin in 
the blood is manufactured in greater Quantities, giving 
greater healing power and power of resistance. Then, the man 
is more able to take up albumin, casein, fibrin; he is strong- 
er, more alive; his blood has greater repairing and construct- 
ive power; his brain and muscles are better toned up; h© has 
more executive power, and is more of a force in the world. 
There is a higher degree of health, greater harmony of tem- 
perament, better functioning. Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, 
Oxygen, and the organo-metallic salts enter the system in 
normal proportion, when Potassium is present in normal quan- 
tities. 

c. A man has wonderful recuperative power, when Potassium is pre- 
sent in the tissues; his blood is more alkaline; oxidation is 
more perfect; injuries, cuts and bruises heal quickly, per- 
haps in a few hours. In youth, these elements enter the 
blood in larger quantities. This is why army surgeons are 
successful in operating upon 3?-oung soldiers. The surgeon 
takes the credit, but in reality the curative power of the 
blood of the young man is the explanation of seemingly mar- 
velous cures." If you doubt this, watch the result when sur- 
geons operate on old men, in whom recuperative power is low, 
and vitality is on the ebb — these men die from operations. 

d. Where Potassium is present in normal quantities, there is an 
abundance of fibrinogen and serum-albumin in the blood, and 
Oxygen in the tissues. 

e. Where Potassium is highly represented in the tissues, the man 
is of a high standard of organic and vegetative life, per- 
fection and health. In him albumin, highly complex in its 
molecular structure, and widely different within certain i. 
limits, has reached its highest evolution of vegetative life. 
Albumin is mainly a Carbon substance, but contains also 
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hjrdrogen, and Sulphur: To be exact, there 
are fifty-two parts of Carbon, twenty-two parts of Oxygen, 
sixteen parts of Nitrogen, seven parts of Hydrogen, and three 
parts of Sulphur in a scale of one hundred parts. When 
Potassium is active in the proteids of the muscles, muscle 
life is at its height.

The Potassium man is very seldom bald-headed. He can be 
dragged, pulled, jerked and twisted about by the hair with- 
out its coming out. No other type of man has such pilosity, 
or hair growth. The pilo-motor nerves are strong and ac- 
tive. 

Potassium salts are present in the excreta, in milk, perspi- 
ration, tears, gastric juice, in many of the acids of the 
body, in muscles and elsewhere, but Potassium finds its out- 
let mainly through the kidneys. 

Intestinal fermentation takes place when there is a lack of 
Potassium in the system. Potassium and Sodium have every- 
thing to do with saponification. In the process of intesti- 
nal fermentation, dextrose and maltose are converted into 
lactic acid, which is converted into butyric acid, Carbon 
dioxid, and Hydrogen. Fats are split up into glycerol and 
fatty acid. The proteids, by the action of the pancreatic 
juice, are decomposed, giving rise to leucin and tyrosin. 
These are reduced into simpler products. Leucin 2rields 
valerianic acid, ammonia, and Carbon dioxid. Tyrosin yields 
indol, which gives rise to the indican found in the urine, 
Skatol is a derivative of the proteids. It is skatol and 
indol, when acted upon by germs in the intestines, that give 
the excreta its odor. If it were not for the Potassium 
and other salts that favor intestinal evacuation and disin- 
fection, some of these poisons would soon undermine health. 
Potassium c hi or id preponderates in muscular and nerve tis- 
sues, and in the red corpuscles of the blood. The plasma 
in those tissues contains but a small quantity of these 
salts, but a high quantity of Sodium chlcrid. 
Those Potassium compounds increase the alkalinity of blood 
and l3rmph. All tissue cells must be bathed in these salts, 
else cell activity is decreased; for these salts increase 
heart action, maintain arterial pressure, improve circula- 
tory vigor.

Muscle contain 73.5^ of Water; 18^02$ of protein, including 
sarcolemma, connective tissues and pigments; 1,99% of gela- 
tin; 2*21% of fat; §.22f of extractives; 3,12$ of inorganic 

cp\ "I "f" Q 

Muscle contains a muscle-iron, (myohematin) and this ferric 
pigment increases internal respiration and internal oxida- 
tion, which is spectroscopically proven by the fact that 
its bands of absorption undergo oxidation and reduction 
changes* 

The main Nitrogen extractives in muscle are - urea, creatin, 
creatinin, uric acid, xanthin, carnin; and the non-Nitrogen 
containing extractives are glycogen, lactic acid, fat, ino- 
site, dextrose. 

When there is a lack of Potassium salts in the tissues, sug- 
ars and starches are not assimilated, not even tolerated, 
by the tissues. This leads to diabetes, dropsy, and other 
ailments. 

When food salts of Potassium are present in the body, pain 
sensations are not so severe, but when food salts of Potas- 
sium are lacking, pain sensations become uncontrollable. 
Nerve matter demands a normal alkaline (not acid) medium. 
Cancer and snake bites are less deadly when Potassium salts 
are in abundance. A Potassium diet prevents ulceration, 
equalizes certain excretions, such as the urinary, uterine, 
nasal, laryngeal, perspiratory, and helps to remove excess 
of water from the body. It helps to prevent gangrene, skin 
ailments, ingrowing toe nails, also foot sweat, due to the 
presence of the bacillus factidus. 
Potassium is a laxative and promotes sleep.

14, HELPFUL HINTS : 

a. Nichols informs us that a wheat crop, from one acre of land, 
removes about forty pounds of potash; that a^crop of one 
acre of potatoes removes four hundred pounds of potash from 
the soil, 

b. Potash is found in potato peelings, in the outside part of 
grains, in the peelings of fruits and nuts. The miller re- 
moved the outside part from the grain; the cook removes the 
peelings from potatoes, fruits, tomatoes, turnips, carrots; 
so that when the food comes to the table, the Potassium 
salts have been removed, 

c. Periodicity is the elementary characteristic of Potassium, 
whether Potassium is working in plant, animal, or human tis- 
sue; the Potassium man acts by spells and spurts. 

d. Potassium ma.j become excessive in the human system by eating 
Potassium foods to excess; by eating bakers' ginger bread, 
preserved meats; by taking Potassium drugs, such as Potassium 
bromide, Potassium carbonate, Potassium phosphate, Potassium 
sulphate. 

• e. Potassium, in the form of drugs, is a fatal poison, and will 
destroy the functions as quickly as any other poison that 
could be purchased. 

f. Potassium salts, if used in manufactured foods and preserved 
meats, produce disorder of digestion, and increase the waste 
products in the tissues. They affect the mucous surfaces 
of the alimentary tract, and produce sensations of burning 
pain. Potassium increases Sodium excretion alarmingly, un- 
til tumors develop, and until the Sodium supply is exhausted. 

15. WHEN A POTASSIUM DIET IS NEEDED : 

1. When fatty food disagrees 12. 

2. When objects seem to reel 13. 

3. When pains are terrible 14. 

4. When the skin is bluish in 15. 
cold weather 16. 

5. When hungry on going to the 
table but when food odor 17. 
meets the olfactory mem- 
brane, the appetite flies 18. 

6. When eyeballs ache 19. 

7. When eye muscles are tired 

8. When lips are cracked 20. 

9. When thirst cannot be 21. 
gratified 22. 

10. When everything tastes bitter 

11. When intestines have a 
tearing pain 



When the heart flutters 
When the heart is crampy 
When the thighs are weary 
When you are always tired 
When there are crawling 
sensations in the skin 
When you feel like scream- 
ins: 

When you feel prost rated 
When clothing is unbeara-

When heels are sore 
When the head jerks 
When there is albumin in 
the urine - 



AT ALL SUCH TIMES A POTASSIUM DIET IS IMPERATIVE.

*• SILICON IN THE MINERAL AND V EGETABLE KINGDOMS : 

a. Silica is a compound of Silicon and Oxygen, occurring in 
nearly all earthy minerals. It enters largely into certain 
precious stones, such as the jasper, amethyst, agate, onyx, 
opal and others, Silicon offers great resistance to ele- 
mentary changes, and to soil and climatic impressions of al- 
most every kind. Next to Oxygen, Silicon is the most abun- 
dant element in the strata of the earth, forming nearly one- 
fourth of the earth* s crust. It constitutes the principal 
part of most soil, serving as a soil support to plants, 
Silicon is very abundant in wheat straw; one chemist making 
the statement that he found Silica in wheat straw to the ex- 
tent of about 68$. Silicon is found in many natural waters, 
in rocks, and forms many hydrates having acid properties, 
and giving rise to many different salts, which are known as 
silicates. In medicine Silicon is used in the form of an 
alkaline silicate mainly. 



b. Non-poisonous paints are made of silicate 
are remarkably resistive to sunshine, hea 
changes, and are, therefore, valuable to 
The silicates are used, to a great extent 
ture. They were likewisejjsed in Egypt, 
other places by ancient magicians, who we 
blowers and manufacturers of beads, vases 
cut and gilded raised figures, of mummies

re expert glass- 
, of beautifully 
, adornments, of 
corated. 



SI LICON, ITS NATURE AND CH A RACTERISTICS : 

a. Silicon is a brown- like, almost colorless element, having 
strong electrical power. It is practically tasteless and 
odorless, although people with keen taste and odor declare 
that it has a pronounced odor and taste, 

b. Silicon unites readily with the alkalies, the properties of 
which it neutralizes, resulting in soil formation and disin- 
tegration, under the influence of water, in the interests of 
plants. 

c. It is Silicon that gives firmness to stalks of grain; that 
produces a polished, hard outside surface in oats, barley, 
corn, rice, and other cereals; that gives hardness, firmness, 
elasticity and polish to bone, to teeth, to tendons, in 
animals and human beings, 

d. It is interesting to know that oats contain, in addition to 
Silicon, alkaline phosphate, starch, gluten, diastase, Phos- 
phorus, and a small percent of Chlorin, Sulphur, Iron, Mag- 
nesium, Calcium, Sodium, a considerable amount of Potassium, 
an alkaloid principle, having slightly narcotic power, and 
an important active principle called avenin, which acts 
strongly upon the sexual system, being important in sexual 
neurasthenia, brain weakness, nervousness, in the cure of 
tobacco heart, tobacco and -morphine habits. An oatmeal 
diet is valuable in neurasthenia, and also when a patient is 
addicted to such habits that affect the nervous system, the 
brain, or the sexual system. 



46 

5 ' FACTIONS OF SILICON IN THE. HUMAN ORGANIZATION : 

a. It has pleased the Almighty to introduce about one and one- 
quarter ounces of Silicon into human tissue. Free Silicon is 
also used in the "body, and eliminated by various avenues after 
it has done its work, Silicon is found in almost all animal 
and vegetable tissue, especially in resistive tissue, such as — 
skin, tendons, dura mater, fascia, hair, feathers, nails* 
b« Silicon makes muscles firmer, blood warmer, hair more luxuriant 
and glossy; it strengthens all of the membranes, the ligamen- 
tous tissue, the arterial walls, the walls of the throat, the 
outer and inner linings of organs, the uterine coat, the walls 
of the alimentary tract, the spinal and cerebral dura mater, 
the nails and skin* It seems to act strongly upon the ner- 
vous system, the brain, and the sexual system. In fact, it 
seems to impart vigor to the entire organism of man # 

c. When the Silicon element is actively at work, the tissues are 
strongly alkaline. It exerts a powerful influence upon the 
nervous system and the brain* It makes the pulse more ryth- 
mic, the bones more active, the body more alkaline; bones, 
nerves and mucous membranes possess greater vibratory cell ac- 
tion, and greater power to transmit nerve impulse, when Silicon 
is present in normal quantities. Silicon is a powerful anti- 
septic. It establishes, in the human organism, a greater re- 
sistance to disease; the body can more successfully defend it- 
self against the invasion of many micro— organisms. 

3. In combination with Sulphur*. Silicon is particularly necessary 
for hair and nails. Unless these important elements are sup- 
plied as a child is growing up, the hair lacks gloss, strength 
and pilosity. Animals that have luxuriant fur or wool, as, 
for instance, the sheep, fox, bison, bear, require Silicon and 
Sulphur in abundance. 

e. A Silicon diet has a remarkable effect upon impotence. It is 
valuable for a patient who suffers from ovarian, hysterical, 
or menstrual ailments. It is beneficial for those who suffer 
from tobacco or morphine neuroses^ from psychopathia sexualis; 
psychosis; from sexual, cerebral, spinal, and cerebellar neu- 
rasthenia, nervous debility brought about by excessive work or 
passion. The morphine fiend is in the greatest need of a. Sil- 
icon diet. The man who suffers from sexual debility will 
never regain his former strength, until he is placed upon a 
diet that is rich, in the Silicon element. 

f . Silicon has a remarkable effect upon the brain, particularly 
upon the intellect. A Silicon diet enables the brain-worker 
to accomplish much work with less fatigue. Patients of an 
intense nervo-fibrous temperament, (Bxesthesic) are always ben- 
efited by a Silicon diet; such a diet increases the appetite, 
and the general sense of well-rbeing. 

g. Silicon increases motor energy and working capacity in horses. 
It increases the endurance of old men suffering from the in- 
clemencies of weather, and from old-age ailments. Like alfal- 
fa it increases vigor. Foods containing Silicon, have almost 
the same effect as those that are rich in Formic acid. Joints 
become elastic, eyesight brighter, varicose veins less trouble- 
some, polypi decrease; the complexion improves, flesh becomes

3 - FUNCTIONS OF SILICON IN THE HUMAN OR GANIZATION: (Continued) 
firmer, scabs disappear, hair becomes more abundant and 
glossy, both in animals and in people, upon a diet that com- 
bines the Silicon element and Formic acid, 
h. Cancer is unknown in one country, at least, where Silicon 
and Formic acid are combined in the national diet, Silicon 
foods counteract malaria* It is important in catarrh, tu- 
berculosis ; tumors; it helps apoplexy, bruises, rheumatism* 
and consumption of the throat; it counteracts self-generated 
systemic poison. Foot sweat disappears under the influence 
Of a Silicon diet, if taken in connection with food contain- 
ing Formic acid, not in drug form, but in food form, 

i, A Silicon diet is valuable for animals that suffer from hoof 
foot rot. It is beneficial in times of infection from vac- 
cination serum, and when injuries, sores, and wounds become 
suppurative because of lack of this element, It helps, to 
a small extent, the bad results of syphilis and gonorrhea, 
if taken in combination with food that contains Fluorin, 
Sulphur, Potassium chlorid, and certain other salts, that 
are always broken down, by germ impurity, in times of 
venereal diseases, 

j. Silicon foods, if taken in connection with foods that are. 
rich in Potassium chlorid, prevent paralysis. Nervous ex- 
haustion demands an almost exclusive Silicon diet* Such a 
diet helps the circulation by making the arterial walls 
stronger, more elastic. It has a particular effect upon 
the testicles, ovaries, inguinal glands, cerebellum, and up*- 
on pyorrhea alveolaris. It acts upon the epidermis of the 
skin. It helps measles, a great many swellings, and pus 
formation, which demands a neutralizing agent. It has a 
partial curative affect upon sewer gas poisoning.. Silicon 
is needed in the body for good health, but it must not be 
excessively supplied, 

4. CONSTITUTIONS IN WHI CH SILICON IS INHERENTLY : 

a. Excessive: Sillevitic. Some Nervi-Motive people in whom 

Silicon consumption is excessive. 

b. Deficient: Neurogenic, Pathetic, Carboferic, Hydripheric, 

Lipopheric, Nitropheric, Atrophic, some Pargenic 
people; also in all people who suffer from pus 
formation, tuberculosis, catarrh, degenerative 
processes, and suppurative processes. 

5. SYMPTOMS WHEN SILICON IS EXCESSIVE : 

a. Agility, ease of movement, speed, imagination. The patient 
expects the impossible and expresses the improbable. The 
constitution becomes excessively alkaline. Love is momen- 
tary; disposition changeable; imagination vivid; intellect 
communicative; friendship pleasing; smile winning. The- pa- 
tient sings, plays, laughs, and talks all day long. Fr-ople 
of the Silicon constitution are similar to the caprine .anu 
ovine species, which live in the mountainous districts, where 
it is sandy and stony, and where the altitude is high and tins- 



48 

sun shines brightly, as, for instance, such animals as - the 
deer, the elk, the gnu, antelope, cervus sika, chamois, the 
gazelle, the addax, the eland, the steinbok, the mountain goat, 
and others. These animals could be called Silicon animals. 
In Silicon people the secretions are alkaline, and they are 
elastic, active, nimble and fleet. 

b. When Silicon consumption is too great, there is an increase of 
appetite, accompanied by a falling off in weight. The patient 
is always hungry, always lean, always active. To think, de- 
cide, and execute seem to be instantaneous processes in such a 
man. His tongue seems to be on a pivot, his brain oiled, and 
his bones seem to work like steel springs. He is like the 
chamois in movement. He passes rapidly from subject to sub- 
ject, and never dwells long on any topic. He feels learned 
and important; he wants a high position. Ecstasy, buoyancy, 
great optimism, excessive enthusiasm, acuteness of sense per- 
ception, loquacity, lively gesticulation and manners, fluctua- 
tion in ideas, a craving for excitement, phantasy and idealism 
characterize a Silicon patient, 

C. The Silicon patient is hyperbolic, visionary, full of exagger- 
ation; he is as playful as a squirrel; his mind is active even 
in sleep. His moods are lively; his humor hilarious. He 
laughs gleefully at his own peculiarities. He is as comical 
as an auctioneer. He sings to himself unconsciously. Even 
the song of a bird may start him singing, and he may keep it 
up incessantly for hours, even for days. He may often sing 
in his sleep. Neither does he need very much sleep. 

d. As time goes by his mental and physical excitement and activi- 
ties may become too intense, resulting in over-activity in the 
motor function. There is excessive energy in the locomotor 
parts of the body; pain in the cerebellum; excess of alkalini- 
ty in the blood, and in the secretion; great heat and inflam- 
mation in the lower part of the backhead; abnormal desire for 
work, action and enterprise, He develops an abnormal desire 
for mountains, hills and sunlight. He is an innocent racket- 
maker. His salivation becomes chronic; some of the solid 
structures harden and fibroids form; the blood becomes darker; 
the heat function excessive; and he is subject to fever and 
alkalinuria. He suffers from great emaciation, because of 
excessive work. He cannot assimilate the organic elements in 
normal quantities. He suffers from humming in the ears, op- 
tical illusions, exhaustion, because of work and action, 

5a. SYMPTOMS W HEN SILICON IS DEFICIENT : 

a. A^ patient who suffers from Silicon hunger is overly anxious 
about himself. He has a feeling that death is approaching; 
he is more hopeful in the morning; more depressed and anxious 
towards evening; and, at this time, he is subject to crying 
spells, which come on without any apparent reason. Sometimes 
he feels like screaming. At one time he yields, at another 
time he is. headstrong; at still another time faint-hearted; 
again, angry, irritable and unable to restrain himself . There 
is a great sensitiveness in the nervous system.

5a. SYMPTOMS WHE N SILICON IS DEFICIENT : (Continued) 

b. Such patients cannot tolerate motion, strong light, rattle, 
din, nor loud talking. The least noise disturbs their ner- 
vous system. The auditory apparatus is often exceedingly 
acute. They complain that it is next to impossible for them 
to concentrate their minds. Heat generation is low; hence, 
they wrap themselves up in warm fabrics, and retire to a 
warm, dry, quiet room. 

c. The Silicon hunger patients are in danger of brain trouble. 
They feel that there is nothing to live for; the headache is 
so violent that they are afraid of losing reason. They are 
bothered by conscientious scruples, to which a healthy man 
would pay no attention; such scruples bother them to the 
point of bitter tears. They are over-excited, angry at tri- 
fles, quarrelsome and dissatisfied, always in a rush. They 
talk and answer hastily, are exceedingly fussy, and do not 
want to talk to anybody. 

d. They feel as though they are "like a broken-down machine". 
They are anxious; manners are retiring; speech indirect; 
senses erratic; temper spasmodic; disposition yielding; 
spirit timid; feelings touchy; sentiments passive; appetite 
lacking; desires unsatisfied; patience lacking; love apathe- 
tic; thinking difficult; nerves fidgety; reading, writing, 
conversation tiresome; perceptions volatile; memory becloud- 
ed; reason dull. They sleep when riding in cars; always 
complaining; and always have some kind of trouble with mem- 
branous tissue and canal walls. 

6. HOW TO REDUCE SILICO N IN THE BODY: 
a. Foods: 



b. Climate: 



Eat foods rich in Carbon, Hydrogen, Ni- 
trogen and Oxygen. 
Omit foods rich in Silicon. 
Live in a low altitude, where the climate 
is humid. 

c. Mental Exercise: Do not use the intellect and cerebellum 

excessively through appetite, feeling, 
and study. 

d. Physical Exercise: Be lazy. 

7 - HOW TO INCREASE SILICO N IN THE BODY: 

a. Foods: Eat foods that are rich in Silicon. 

Onit foods rich in Carbon, Hydrogen, Ni- 
trogen and Oxygen. 

b. Climate: Live in a high altitude where the climate 

is dry and the soil is sandy. 

c. Mental Exercise: Use the intellect and the cerebellum vig- 

orously, 
• d. Physical Exercise: Engage in active exercise, especially 

speedy and light energetic action, but it 
must not be excessive.

8. PEOPLE WHO REQUIRE SILICON FOODS : 

a. In abundance: Neurogenic, Pathetic, Carboferic, Hydripheric, 

Lipopheric, Nitropheric, Atrophic, Fargenic. All 
people with tubercular, catarrhal, or suppurative 
ailments or diseases. 

b. Very little : The healthy Sillevitic; the healthy Nervi -Motive, 

Medeic, and many Marasmic. If, however, some 
of those people abuse themselves, or if they are 
too energetic and burn up the Silicon elements 
too excessively, they also require Silicon in 
abundance . 



9. INFLUENCE OP AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SILICON FOODS O N: 

a. Health: It affects health detrimentally; leads to necro- 
sis, suppuration in bone, in fibrous tissue, glands 
and mucous surfaces;, the nutrition of such fibrous 
tissue is interfered with. The lymphatic glands 
are enlarged and show a tendency to suppuration. 
There is an indication of neurasthenia., for excess 
of Silicon has a bad affect upon the nervous sys- 
tem, as well as upon solid fibrous tissue* 
b- Disposition: The disposition becomes over— energetic, and the 

intellect becomes excessively active, 

10 - INFLUENCE OF A DEFIC IE NT AMOUNT OF SILICON FOODS ON : 

a. Health: There is no desire for work, action, and excite- 

ment, for there is no strength left. He feels 
like a "broken— down machine". 

b. Disposition: Melancholy. The patient becomes a whiner, and 

' • soon suffers from pathophobia, imagining that he 

is full of disease and can never improve.

14. HE LPFUL HINTS : 

a. It is a known fact that in many instances Silicon mineral 
waters have a beneficial effect on health. The Mont Dore 
mineral water contains 0.016$ of Silicon; the Marienbad 
mineral water contains 0.014$ of Silicon; Baden— Baden 
mineral water contains 0.012$ of Silicon. These mineral 
•waters seem to have a remarkable affect upon diseases Of 
membranous structures and ligamentous tissue. 

b. According to reports from various sources, Mont Dore miner- 
al water is mainly curative of naso-pharyngeal, laryngeal, 
catarrhal, bronchial, rheumatic, gouty, neurotic, asthmatic, 
and hysterical ailments. Mont Dore mineral water is rich 
in carbonic acid, and is fairly warm. It is possible that 
the climate has a great deal to do with the cures reported, 
for this spring has an altitude of 3,550 feet. This would 
naturally have a beneficial effect upon the ailments men- 
tioned. 

c. The Marienbad has an altitude of 2,100 feet, and the miner- 
al water contains carbonate of Iron to a small extent, car- 
bonic acid, also sulphate, chlorid, and bi— carbonate of 
Sodium, It is, however, not necessary to drink Silicon 
mineral waters and spend money by going to mineral springs, 
for it is possible to eat such foods and drink such drinks 
that are rich in the Silicon element, in your own home.

I6. PRINCIPAL SILICON FO ODS (ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED) : 

a. As a general rule Silicon is found in the outside part of the 
grain, and this is usually milled away by millers. It is 
found in the peelings, and the peelings are usually thrown 
away.. Thus,, people are likely to suffer from Silicon hunger, 
because of milling, refining, paring, and cutting processes. 

b. All foods named herein are organic* 

c. Vitamines are found in seeds only, and are killed by heat above 
130 degrees temperature.

INSTITUT E OF HUMAN NAT URE STUDIES, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS , 
LESSON SHEET . COURS E-F OODS & C HEMICALS. SUBJE CT-MANGANESE . 

1. MANGANESE IN THE MINE RAL AND VEGETABLE KINGDOMS : 

a. Manganese is an element that is very widely distributed 

through the mineral and vegetable kingdoms. It is a hard, 
brittle metal, resembling cast iron in its color and texture. 
Clay, iron and stone often contain Manganese. Manganese is 
found, however, to a considerable extent in nature, both in 
its elemental state, and also in combination with other 
metals, 

2. M ANGANESE , ITS NATURE A ND CHARACTERISTICS : 

a. Manganese has the s^rmbol Mn. It is a gray— white, or sil- 
very-white metal. It is positive in electrical character, 
and fuses at 39° Fahrenheit. Manganese occurs mainly as an 
Oxide. It oxidizes ra.pidly when exposed tc the air. In 
coming in contact with water it decomposes, and Hydrogen is 
liberated. 

b. Manganese has many of the characteristics peculiar to Iron, 
yet it is different in cell structure. It has properties 
that permit of a beautiful polish. It is a useful metal, 
and possesses remarkable qualities, not found in other me- 
tals. Because of its inherent ductile, tensile, wiry, and 
clastic properties, it is used in many manufacturing proces- 
ses, in which it is important to impart these equalities to 
metal, metallic products and wares. 

c. Manganese is used much in the manufacture of steel to in- 
crease its ductility, and enduring qualities, in processes 
of efficient forging. Iron Manganese T or Manganese com- 
bined with Iron, gives great strength, hardness, toughness, 
ductility, and elasticity to Iron, and Iron wares, and en- 
hancing the qualities for forging end tempering tc Iron, 
steel, and metal wares.. 

d. Manganese also adds properties to glass and pottery that are 
of great utility. 

c. Manganese is of great value in the laboratory in processes 
of analytical chemistry. It decreases the liability to 
corrosion in certain metals. In the manufacture of glass, 
Manganese is used to a large extent to counteract the yellow 
tint produced in the glass by Oxide of Iron. The black en- 
amel seen in pottery is due to the Manganese metal. Manga- 
nese, or peroxide, is used in the preparation of Chlorin in 
the manufacture of bleaching powder. 

3 * FUNCTIONS OF MANGAN ESE I N THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION: 

a. Traces of Manganese arc found in the blood cells, and in cer- 
tain solid tissue. The small quantity of Manganese present 
in the body performs an important function. It has a no- 
ticeable effect upon the lining cf the heart, the lining of 
the bones, the lining of the cranium, the membrane surround- 
ing the viscera raid the abdominal cavity; the capsules of 
the joints, and all of the structures of the joints. It 
evidently influences bone production, increasing the hard- 

,-• ' ness and elasticity of bones and other solid tissue. It 

acts upon the biliary passages, on the lining of the intes- 
tinal tract, on the lining of the larynx, on the structure 
of the excretorv duct of the liver and g^J.l bladder. 



56 



b. Manganese seems to have an inter—related connection with the - 
bile function. Under the influence of a diet rich in Manga- 
nese, the bone lining, tubular walls, motor nerves, and the 
linings of organs improve; perhaps because Manganese helps to 
make tubes, linings, pcriastcal structures, bones, and fibers 
.more rigid. It acts upon the linings of the generative or- 
gans. Under the influence of Fluorin, Silicon, and Manga- 
nese, the strength, endurance, conductivity, elasticity, 
hardness, wirincss, toughness, tensility, end heat endurance, 
are increased in a man, or in a patient. 

c. A rich Manganese diet, in connection with foods rich in Sodi- 
um, has a beneficial effect upon a patient suffering from 
gout, 

d. Manganese is an agent of body purification, because 'of its 
antiseptic and germicidal properties. It counteracts cer- 
tain body acids and products, so that they become less harm- 
ful to life, functioning, and to the metabolism of solid 
structures. Manganese counteracts the effect of opium, and 
the inroads of certain venereal miasms. It increases the 
recuperative power of the body, helps the battle against 
acid, germ life, and against rheumatic, septic, and gouty ail- 
ments. It increases the power of bodjr purification; it pro- 
motes normal metabolism in the membranes of the joints. 

c. It has many important functions to perform, some of which are 
rather obscure at the present time. It has an indirect in- 
fluence on bone zu&&9ri>oli8m and catabolism. It hinders the 
development of cancerous growth in membranes, linings and or- 
gans. It helps in the construction of ligamentous struc- 
tures. It. effects favorably, bone ablution, cell affiniti- 
zati.on in bone tissue, disinfection of bone and ligamentous 
structures. Osseous and ligamentous tissue oxidation is in- 
creased by Manganese, the same as it influences oxidation 
t processes in plants. 

f. Manganese possesses tonic food properties, and also tonic 
medicinal properties. Manganese acts strongly on the ute- 
rine lining through the nerves, not through the blood. When 
Manganese is lacking in the body, health suffers, and tubu- 
lar tissue, membranes, bones, ligaments, linings, gelatinous 
structures suffer; and certain unmistakable symptoms appear. 
Although there is only a sprinkling of Manganese in the body, 
yet this sprinkling serves a highly useful purpose. 

g. There arc several elements found in the body only in minute 
proportions, viz., Sulphur, Fluorin, Potassium, Sodium, Mag- 
nesium, Iron, Silicon, Manganese, and Iodin, the two latter 
being present in exceedingly small quantities. If any of 
these elements arc lacking, or partly lacking, however, it 
results in chronic diseases impossible to cure until the miss- 
ing clement, or elements, arc supplied in organized feed form, 
The chemist is generally silent in regard to the presence of 
Manganese in food. 



4. CONST ITUT IO NS IN WHICH MA NG ANESE IS INHER ENTLY: 

a. Excessive: None. 

b. Deficient: Almost all constitutions.

duces jerky sensations in the nerves, and aggravates tho 
nerves in the teeth. 

36. Any cold drinks, or cold foods, increase the prevailing state 
of his mind, i.e., if he is joyful, he becomes more joyful; 
if he is depressed, he becomes more depressed; if he dis-

4. Forgctfulncss, absent-mindedness. 

5. Liability to error in speech, involving forgctfulncss of 
subjects and omission of clauses, phrases, and words in 
sentences, both in spoken and written language, seem to bo 
a natural result of Manganese -hunger. 

6. Manganese -hunger patient is Inaccurate, Ho will say that

26. Downward motion has a bad effect upon him. 

27. He claims that objects are standing in front of his eyes. 

28. It is difficult for him to dance; so soon as he turns, or 
so soon as there are any rotary motions, he becomes con- 
fused. It seems he cannot adjust himself to motion, or 
to loss of motion. Rocking, turning, up and down move- 
ment of a ship, or the motion of a car or train, disturbs 
his equilibrium, and results, often, in disagreeable sen- 
sations, perhaps even vomiting. Yet, he wants to be out 
in the fresh air and sunshine. 

29. His face is hot, perhaps bleated; his eyes red and swollen, 
his scalp itches, his head burns at the lower part of the 
backhcad. He closes his eyes tightly as though there 
were a pressure upon them from within, producing lack of 
accommodation in the eye mechanism. His eyes itch and 
smart. 

30. It scorns that the ccrcbro— spinal fluid is not sufficiently 
secreted, resulting in brain shrinkage. 

31. The taste function is erratic; now he says he has a sweet 
taste in the mouth, then again a metallic taste, then an 
oily taste, then a mawkish taste, then a sour or a foul 
taste. The food has a fatty, rancid, oily and disagree- 
able taste in his mouth. 

32. Milk produces distension of the stomach. He says his 
stomach is too small, that it is drawn together like a 
rubber band. 

33. His lower limbs arc seemingly lifeless. 

34. His heart nerves contract, producing fearfulncss, 
flashes of light before the eyes, temporary sleeplessness, 
perspiration, tremors, difficult breathing, fainting 
spells, falling and epileptic symptoms. 

35. A rash appears on his chest or on his back. 

36. His glands swell. 

37. His hands tremble, 

38. His bones crack.

neuron, between brain fiber and brain fiber, brain com- 
partment and brain compartment, is improved under the 
Manganese diet, his mind is clearer.

c. Ailments are always worse when the patient is sitting still, 
and at night when it is dark. 

d. There are jerky sensations in the nerves, that nothing else 

will cure than a diet that is rich in the Manganese clement.

INSTITUTE OF HUMAN NATURE STUDIES, CHICAGO, ILLINOI S. 
LESSON SHEET . . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . SUBJECT»-FLUORIN . 
1. FLUORIN IN THE MINERAL AND VEGETABLE KINGDOMS: 



a. Fluorin is found in Derbyshire, or fluor spar, of which 
beautiful ornaments are made. 

b. It is found in the enamel of teeth. It is found in the 
glossy surfaces of bony fibrous tissue; it is -found in car- 
tilage of men and animals. It is found in greenish sea 
water and river T/ater; and it is found in certain species 

. . of grass j, growing in the sea, or in swamps. 

2. ffLUORIN, ITS NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS : 

a* Fluorin unites with Hydrogen* forming hydrofluoric acid, 

which is noted for its corrosive action on glass. So deli- 
cate' is the test of this acid, that by this means the pre- 
sence of Fluorin has been detected in fossil teeth* This 
acid is exceedingly corrosive. The smallest drop on the 
skin is likely to produce an ulcer. 

b* Fluorin is the only element that does not unite with Oxygen 
to form compounds, though it is found in combination with 
other elements, especially Calcium. There is a strong af- 
finity between Calcium and Fluorin. Fluor spar, when pure, 
contains about 49$ of Fluorin, and about 51% of Calcium'. 
Fluor spar is found in metal-carrying strata, containing 
silver, "tin, lead ore. It is sometimes colorless and 
transparent, but usually has a tint of yellow, green, blue 
and red. Fluorin salts are highly corrosive and poisonous 
in their full strength. 

c. Fluorin is an element that it is very difficult to isolate 
by present processes. Even the word itself suggests this 
tend envy to* flow - from the Latin "flur", from the verb 
"fluo". 

3. FUNCTIONS OF FLUORIN IN. THE HUMAN OR GANIZ ATION : 

a. Fluorin is constantly at work in animals and man, especial- 
ly in bony, tissue. It is Fluorin that adds beauty and . 
strength to the feathers of birds. Chickens need Fluorin 
for the proper development of their eggs. The yolk of the 
egg contains Fluorin,.* and requires it to a certain degree. ■ 
If chickens are given food from which they cannot obtain 
Fluorin, they become subject to chicken diphtheria, chicken 
cholera, and other ailments. Moreover, the baby chicks 
v/ill be more feeble and sickly. 

b. Only about three to four ounces of Fluorin is found in the 
body, but this small quantity is important to the health 
of nuan- 
ce Fluorin is a worker in bone, it is a twin-brother" to Calcium. 

The great chemist, Berzelius, found tv/o percent of f lurid 
of Calcium in human bone. Fluorin and Calcium combined, 
work particularly in the- outer part of the bone. They form 
the enamel of the teeth, and the hard, highly polished bone 
surface. Fluorin acts upon Calcium and binders calcifica- 
tion. Under the normal influence of Fluorin, Calcium can- 
not decay, ulcerate, calcify, infiltrate, crumble, suppu- 
rate, indurate, nor increase excessively in any bone struct- 
ure. Because there is no affinity between Oxygen and 



64 



Fluorin, Oxygen cannot penetrate the hard, glossy, Flucrin- 
made surface en bones ana teeth. Fluorin is present in the 
spleen, in the eye structure, and in elastic fiber. 

d, Fluorin acts with albumin in elastic fiber, and helps to form 
hard coatings of muscular tissue, . it is present 
in the nails, shin, hair, arterial and venus walls, in joint 
tissue ana solid rare. Fluorin has much to do with the 
repair, growth, construction, maintenance and strength of bene. 

hen Fluorin is not present ir. the blood, tuners, prolapsus, 
hardened glands, Indurated enlargements, weakened elastic fi- 
bers, and ligamentous tissue, also varicose veins, are the 
result. 

e, Fluorin is a preventive of heavy dental bills. It is anti- 
septic, entipyic, antiparasitic, antipyretic, and antisyphili- 
tic. It opposes :;.: ng enemies that threaten bone and 
"issue life, viz., gems, Oxygen, bacterial gases, mortifica- 
tion acid, calcic and bacterial toxins, and other agents of a 

:-:._"- nature. So long as that dense, hard, glossy, and 
polished Fluorin surface, the enamel, is intact, decay, tooth- 
ache, infection, and heavy isntal bills are out of the ques- 
tion 

f, Fluorin is the sanitary pcliee officer of the bedy. There are- 
certain diseases, gems, toxins, pus, and .iasus, that break 
down the Fluorin supply in the body. Among these are, con- 
sumption and syphilis gems, mumps, erysipelas, certain bac- 
terial toxins and vaccine, ".Then Fluorin, that sanitary po- 
lice officer in the human body, is destroyed, watch the bones, 
solid tissues, teeth, skin, integuments, membranes, perios- 
teum, uericraniun, and notice the results. "here i: 







of 
the tooth is destroyed, Cxygen and germs do the rest. 

g. Fluorin is a preserver of skulls, teeth, hair, nails, and 
skeletons. men mere is a lack of Fluorin, the bones are 
like plaster. .en Fluorin shall have done its work in the 

sues, or teeth, the ': ernes ami teeth are like flint, for 
Fluorin holds together the bone cells and cements them into 
solid blocks. In conjunction with Silicon, and certain other 
elements, Fluorin forms a glossy, hard, tenacious, pciished, 
--"-- ornamental enamel, or veneer, which deeies r the teeth of 
tine", vis., Cxygen. Oxygen is helpless; dec ocroosi tion is 
impossible. Skulls, teeth, herns, nails, and skeletons have 
come to us from the hoary Eocene and kiccene epochs of the 
Zenozoio periods, as perfect as when man came forth frcm 
lei's laboratory of life and being. lone-buili ing . bone— 
sanitac.cn. 3cne-condensation, bone-glazing, bone-protection, 
cone -re pair, and other bone processes, are incomplete, if 
Fluorin is lacking. 

Fluorin im.tr eves Osteogenesis , ke rat ini t at i on, cr the cenucac- 
ture of keratin, which is the basic material of bone, horn, 
nails. Fluorin increases the hunger for, and absorption of, 
Calcium, gelatin, lime carbonates, "sodium chloric, and other 
tissue salts, required as material in the bone factory of the 
human body.

3. FUNCTIONS OF FLUORIN IN TH E HUMAN O RGANIZATION : (Continued) 

i. A person who suffers from syphilis, requires a Fluorin diet. 
Mercury may stop Fluorin destruction in the body, but the 
patient is not cured; he goes to his grave with rotten bones, 
and in a few years his skeleton remains disappear.. A 
thousand years from now, no anthropologist will measure the 
capacity of his skull; no character-reader will read his 
character from his head formation. He dies in bone, crani- 
um, skeleton, and his skull crumbles like dry wall plaster. 
Even while he lives, he suffers from bone diseases, peculiar 
to him alone. 

j. Fluorin is a preserver of 3?-outhfulness, and an aid to long 
life. People who have Fluorin in abundance look young when 
they are old. Fluorin is the greatest preservative element 
that, by divine decree, enters the human body. 

4 . CONS TITUTIONS I N WHICH FLUORIN IS INHERENTLY : 

a. Excessive: Marasmic, sometimes in the Sxesthesic. 

b. Deficient: Pargenic, Atrophic, Carboferic, Neurogenic, some- 

times in the Pathetic, occasionally in the Nitro— 
pheric; and it is always deficient in all people 
suffering from syphilis, or from vaccinosis. 

5. SYMPTOMS WHEN FLU ORIN IS EXCES SIVE: 

1. Excessive sexual desire. 

2. Inflammation and irritation of the sexual system, and its 
associated areas in the brain, possibly by its escharotic 
action on the cerebral and spinal meninges, for these 
structures are always attacked, in connection with other 
deep osseous tissues, when Fluorin is in excess. 

5. Destruction of the reproductive power of man. 

4. Eating and drinking to excess, or until the man becomes 
obese and coarse in appearance. He is exceedingly fond of 
wine, coffee, sweets, and fatty foods. 

5. Always hungry, but never thirsty. 

6. His skin is bloated, red, dry and hot. 

7. Excess of Fluorin interferes with the normal distribution 
of the blood, so that certain parts become excessively sur- 
charged with blood, while other parts are more or less ane- 
mic. The blood flows to the brain; the pericranium, the 
periosteum, the dura, mater, in between the cerebral and 
cerebellar hemispheres, and the lobes of the brain become 
more or less involved, resulting in disturbances of brain 
function. 

8. Recollection is almost lost. 

9. The corpus callosum, the folx cerebri, the tentorium cere- 
belli, the falx cerebelli, and the Pacchionian glands, sit- 
uated at the inner surface of the vertex of the skull, con- 
taining calcareous concretions, containing brain sand, be- 
come inflamed, , ulcerated, hardened, resulting in brain dis- 
eases. Other parts of the brain, such as the pineal gland, 
the pituitary body, the peduncles, the venous sinuses, be- 
come affected, resulting, perhaps, in religious mania. 

10. The Fluor in-excess patient usually calls for the minister, 
to pray for the salvation of his soul. He- worries about 
the welfare of his soul. He feels unfit to associate with 



66 

people, unfit for the world, unfit for heaven, all because 
of the firmer structures of the brain becoming inflamed, in- 
durated, and because excess of Fluorin always attacks the 
deeper and more solid structures and glands, 

11. The Fluorin-excess patient worries about his duties t work, 
and his loved ones. He cannot get his work done fast 
enough. He fears hell and damnation, experiences great 
anxiety in regard to his future, his standing in society, his 
duty and his business. 

12.' He imagines people have lost confidence in him, the same as 
he has lost faith in himself. 

IS.. Now he is cheerful, then depressed; now he works indifferent- 
ly, then he labors to excess. 

14. In the morning, he is frisky, in the evening more low- 
spirited, for his symptoms are always mere aggravated towards 
the evening, or by heat, moisture, or motion. 

15. Grief aggravates his symptoms. 

16. The sensorjr cortical centers are morbidly stimulated, result- 
ing in hemiopia, in negative visual and unilateral halluci- 
nations. He sees objects that are not real. He may see only 
one-half of an object, the other half of the object being 
obscure, perhaps black, or not visible at all. 

17. His more solid eye structures are affected, so are his sense 
perceptions, especially those of taste, smell, and hearing, 
which are, sometimes, almost lost. 

18. His voice has a nasal quality. 
IS. He prefers his bed. 

5a . SYi :?T0I.S "THEN F LUCRIU IS DSFICI5NT: 

1. The Flu or in-hunger patient is difficult to arouse in the • 
morning. 

2. It is difficult for him to get his brain into action, with- 
out a great deal of effort. 

3. He has swimming sensations in his head. 

4. Ivlany regrets; his mind is hazy, memory almost lost. 

5. His appetite is tremendous when it is aroused. 

6. He is never thirsty in the morning, but often in the after- 
noon. 

7. He is in a state of subdued fever, 

8. He likes fatty foods. 

9. His sexual appetite is in a state of fever; motion aggra- 
vates this ailment. 

10. He is bothered with nausea and dizziness, being often oblig- 
ed to lie down and keep still because of nausea. The Mag- 
nesium-hunger patient craves motion, and is benefited. by mo- 
tion. The Flu or in-hunger patient craves stillness, and is 
aggravated by motion. 

11. The Fluor in-hunger patient suffers from respiratory oppres- 
sion. 

12. Deafness in the morning, but not in the afternoon. . 

13. Bruised sensations in the muscles in the afternoon; in- 
creased sex desire at night. 

14. Fatty perspiration, more abundant at night than during the 
day. 

15. Great forgetfulness of promises, and a tendency to worry. 

16. Great indifference to, and even dislike for wife, husband, 
children.. 

17. Anxious, apprehensive, disposition. 

18. Heaviness in the forehead. 

19. Frozen, numb sensation in the brain.

20. Indifference to family, and greater interest in strangers.' 

21. Daring and courage, self-satisfaction, spells of ill humor. 

22. Violent grief with many delusions, characterize the Fluorin— 
hunger patient. 

a. The Fluorin— hunger patient is a puzzle to alienists. He can 

reason like a lawyer, yet has many unusual moods. He may 
think himself obsessed, because of false voices in his ov/n 
brain, or ears. He suffers more mentally than people know, 
or than doctors suspect. He complains of shivers in the 
brain and nerves, tremendous headaches, nervous shocks, and 
almost unconscious spells. Nerve and brain sensations cf a. 
dull trembling, uneasy, moving, twitching and burning nature, 
always centering in the epigastric plexus and the stomach. 

b. His headache is so severe he may apply boiling water to his 
head, or knock his head against walls to relieve the pain. 

c. Electrical storms have an exhilerating influence upon him. 

His head is swollen, tissues puffy, vision double, or pervert- 
ed, or it appears to him as if he is enveloped in a blue 
cloud. He has frightful dreams of amatory scenes. He has 
a high idea of his own skill, genius and enterprise. He 
dislikes to do things on a small scale. He feels superior 
to workmen, bosses, superiors, and has trouble with them. 
He becomes clairaudient, or clairvoyant, often hearing 
strange voices giving him advice regarding investments, in- 
ventions, leadership. V/hen he thinks of churches, or any- 
thing religious, his mind becomes filled with delusion and 
fear, which centers in the pit of his stomach, accompanied 
with false voices, whispers, and sounds. 

d. He may be lifted up into the seventh heaven of bliss, and sud- 
denly be thrown down into the abyss of dark depression, and 
despair. Now he feels tremendously strong and great, then 

he appears as little in his own eyes as a pinhead, and may 
develop violent cursing and tearing tendencies. 

e. All such experiences and imaginations he never tells to 
others. He imagines that there are evil spirits around him, 
and that they are repeating his own statements. So soon as 
he closes his eyes, he has brain visions, horrible alligators, 
lizards, snakes, monkeys, blue clouds, devils, Chinese opium 
dens, greasy negroes, horrible people, vicious demons, making 
faces at him, may be pictured before his ejres, so soon as the 
light is turned off, and he closes his eyes. 

f . The spirit of investment, speculation, and enterprise is ac- 
tive, leading him into dangerous enterprises. The opposite 
sex is likely to think him crazy, but he thinks he is magne- 
tic. 



68 

g. He may be possessed by a strong desire for wealth, position 
and leadership, that borders on mania. He wants to become a 
master of great transactions. Sometimes he is a selfish ma- 
trimonial fortune-hunter, but is always a gruff, rusty, surly 
fellow, having a disposition like a bear. 

h. Some of them are called "people of mystery". The people are 
afraid of them. They have a husky voice, and inflamed face, 
a tremendous appetite. They may starve to excess, and eat to 
excess, at another time. They stammer and stutter when they 
talk, and have very little control of their tongue, vocal 
chords, nerve impulses, throat action and emotions. 

i. It is difficult for them to study, think, and memorize, or to 
recall knowledge, 

J. One Fluorin-hunger patient said that there was a blue electri- 
cal storm at work in his very brain. 

k. The Fluorin-hunger patient takes an interest in unusual things, 
mysterious teachings and occupations, astrology, magnetism, 
bio-chemistry, physical geography, magi, spiritualism, demon- 
ology, toxicology, and the studies of weather, wind, currents, 
diseases. Motion disturbs him. When he travels, dances, 
or swims, or swings, or looks at moving objects, he becomes 
nauseated. His ability to use words, pronounce and conform 
to phonetic laws of speech, is lacking, for he mispronounces 
and uses wrong words in speech and writing constantly. His 
judgment of motion, speech, time, location, sound, throwing, 
or of catching anything thrown, is faulty. His love for the 
opposite sex amounts to mania. 

1. Most patients dislike noise, but the Fluorin-hunger patient- 
likes it. Most patients like to swim and bathe; the Fluorin- 
hunger patient dislikes both. Even a wash of the hands, of- 
ten produces an almost insane itching. 

m. The Fluorin-hunger patient is psychic, mystic, and amatory. 
Some of the cephalic glands are unfavorably affected.

LESSON SHEET. COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. SUB JEC T -FLUORIN . 

8 . PEOPL E V/HO REQUIRE FLUORIN FOODS : 

a. In abundance: Neurogenic, Pathetic, sometimes Marasmic, be- 

cause of excessive Fluorin consumption; Car- 
boferic, Lipopheric, Atrophic, Pargenic. All 
tubercular people; all people who have suffer- 
ed from syphilis, are in the greatest need of 
a high Fluorin diet. 

b. Very little : Exesthesic, Nervi -Motive , Calciferic, Sille- 

vitic. 

9 • INFLU ENCE O F AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FLUDRIN FOODS ON: 

a. Health: It disturbs health, by interfering with the nor- 

mal distribution of the blood, so that some 
parts become hyperemic, while other parts are 
anemic . The blood flows to the brain and the 
more solid tissues become escharotic. 

b. Disposition: It becomes amatory, surly, sensual, sullen, 

and suspicious. 

10 . INFLUENCE, OF A DEFICIENT AMOUNT OF F LUORIN FOODS ON: 

a. Health: The deeper structures become involved, and the 

health is thereb3 7> disturbed. 

b. Disposition: Morose, mystical, eccentric. He has fixed 

moods. He is mistrustful. He has disorderly 
habits. He is awkward in movement, in car- 
riage, clumsy in finger technique. He is a 
poor, although daring, surgeon. If he fallr 
from a building, he lands beneath like a heavy 
cement bag, breaking his bones. 

11 . DIS EASE TENDENCIES OF PEOPLE IN 7H0M FLUORIN IS IN EXCESS: 

a. Decay of bone, caries, ulceration, trouble with bone, teeth, 
hair. 

1 2 . CHEMICALS IN FOODS T HAT PEOPLE 71 TH E XCESS FLU ORIN S HOULD : 

a. Eat: Any foods except those named below. 

b. Avoid: Hydro-carbons, oily and fatty foods, and foods rich 

in Fluorin. 

13 . VOCATIONS FOR 7HICH FLUORIN PEOPLE ARE BEST A DAPTED: 

a. Horse-breeding, pig-breeding, dog-breeding, veterinary sur- 
gery, all sorts of breeding arts and sciences; snake charming, 
bird culture, fish culture, butcher business, fish business, 
dancing instruction, revivalism, adventure, low and contemp- 
tible occupations, brewing, navigation, superintendence of 
mining industry, speculation, doctoring of sexual diseases 
in men, female diseases. Heavy building construction, me— 
diumship, conductorship, politics, commission, chiropody, 
manufacture of germ destroyers, the handling or running of 
pleasure resorts, wine business, live-stock and dairying, 
manicuring, founders of freakish religions. 



70 

14.. HE LPFUL H INTS: 

a. Pus formation, degenerative processes, suppurative process- 
es, are always managed and overcome best, by graduated alti- 
tudinal ascension, and by a high Fluorin diet. Atrophic, 
Pargenic, tubercular, scrofulous people, always suffer from 
eremacausia, or low oxidation and combustion. Absolute 
Fluorin starvation results in defects, alterations, lesions, 
and atrophy, because of changes in periosteal and osseous 
structures. The function of the bone marrow becomes dis- 
turbed, which, in turn, interferes with the manufacture of 
the red corpuscles of the blood. 

b. The car-oba. bean is valuable, when a patient suffers from Par- 
genic impurity, low oxidation and combustion. 

c. Sarsaparilla tea acts favorably upon Pargenic impurity. 

d. Berberis aquifolius, or the roots of Oregon wild grapes, 
contain a principle that counteracts the miasm which thrives 

. in the system of the Pargenic man, 

e. Hop tea, drank daily between meals, is healthful. 

f. Sulphur-containing foods prevent the destructive, suppura- 
tive,, inroads of the Pargenic miasm. 

g. Cod-liver oil contains Phosphorus, Cholesterin, Iodin, Bromin, 
Trimethylamin, and also a certain oil - all of which increase 
the red corpuscles of the blood, and improve the function. of 

oxidation and combustion. 

h. Washing the body in salty soap-suds made of castile soap, in- 
to which water has been added Sodium chlorid, and Sodium car- 
bonate, also some Sulphur, is very beneficial, and the more 
hot the bath is, the more beneficial it is. The bath should 
be as high as 130° Fahrenheit.

LESSON SHEET. COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. SUBJECT-IODIN , 

X« IODI N IN THE MINERA L AND VEGETABLE KINGDO MS: 

a. Iodin is made from kelp, or from the ashes of sea-weed. 
Iodin is found in sea water, and in some mineral springs. 
It occurs in cod liver oil, in most shell fish, and in all 
marine plants. 

b. Iodin is found in compounds with other metals, and these 
are called Iodides. The word "Iodin" means — violet, or 
light violet, 

2 - IODIN, ITS NA TURE AND CHARAC TE RISTICS : 

a. Iodin gives off a crimson purple vapor. Iodin is slightly 
soluble in water, but highly soluble in alcohol and ether. 
When it comes in contact with Phosphorus, it becomes inflam- 
mable, even spontaneously. 

b. Iodin is a non-metallic element with a high metallic lus- 
tre. It is blue-black in color, solvent in ether. Its 
fusing point is 225° Fahrenheit, 

c. Iodin omits a smell which closely resembles that of Chlorin^ 
especially when it vaporizes and condenses. Iodin stains 
cloth yellow, and this tinge may be removed by a solution 
made of Potassium iodide. The test of Iodin is starch. 
This test is so positive, and so delicate, that the slight- 
est speck will determine the presence of starch, or the pre- 
sence of Iodin. 

3, FUNCTIONS O F IOD IN IN THE HUMAN ORGANI ZA TION : 

a. In its elementary state Iodin is an irritant to the skin. 
Potassium iodide ranks as a specific in. tertiary syphilis. 
It is considered an excellent remedy in sclerosis of the 
liver and in chronic bronchitis. It acts as an irritant. 
It stimulates the glands to greater action, especially the 
lymphatic glands, when administered in strong doses. It is 
followed by depression, emaciation, and atrophy. 

b. Iodin is very important in the thyroid gland, or in the thy- 
roid gland secretion. The thyroid secretion is invaluable 
to normal brain action. Iodic-neucleo proteins are found 
in the secretions made by the thyroid. Iodin neutralizes 
certain toxins elaborated within the human body, 

c. Drug store Iodin compounds do not have the same effect upon 
the functions as that Iodin which has been organized in 
food and tissues. Iodin-hunger is a direct cause of goitre 
and an indirect cause of defective bone metabolism. When 
the thyroid gland cannot obtain organized Iodin, together 
with other substances needed in the thyroid secretion, its 
function is depleted and this results in goitre. 

d.' It has been proven that the thyroid gland pours a certain 
substance into the blood which prompts the functions to more 
• vigorous assimilation of Calcium, Silicon, Fluorin, Chlorin, 
and other salts. When the thyroid gland does not pour its 
Iodin. secretion into the blood-stream,, such salts are not 
normally assimilated. The thyroid secretion seems to have 
a particular effect upon the assimilation of Calcium for 
the bones. When there is a deficiency of thyroid secretion, 
bone metabolism is weakened, also the nervous system, 



76 



including the brain. Then the foody is unable to assimilate, 
utilize and hold such salts that are needed bj the hone func- 
tion. 

e. Fickerill demonstrated that thyroid insufficiency in children 
leads to defective teeth and hone metabolism. He proved that, 
when the thyroid gland is removed from an animal y that animal 
is not able to assimilate enough of certain vegetable salts 
needed by the bones and teeth. He lays stress upon Calcium, 
which salt was lost through the intestinal secretions, accord- 
ing to his observations. He found that the alkalinity of the 
saliva was reduced, that the salivary glands became shrunken 
and weakened after the removal of the thyroid gland, in the 

' animal. 

f . An animal can prolong its life almost indefinitely on a bread 
and milk diet, after the thyroid gland has been removed, be- 
cause there will be less of toxic decomposition products in 
the system to injure brain, nerves and vital functions. 

g. The Iodin secretion of the thyroid gland is a poison destroyer 
of certain toxins that are likely to enter the blood through 
the intestinal walls. The thyroid secretion neutralizes cer- 
tain toxins arising from the decomposition and putrefaction 

of certain albuminous foods, which toxins enter the blood 
from the intestines, and passing into the head, affect the 
brain, nerves, and cell action unfavorably. A man who lises 
much on starches, fats, meats, eggs, or albuminous food in 
general, and does not eat food that is rich in Iodin, is weak- 
ening his thyroid gland. Kis brain and nerve matter is un- 
favorably affected by albuminous toxins. The albuminous 
toxins are neutralized by the Iodin secretion of the thyroid 
gland, but are permitted to enter the brain, to accumulate in 
the blood, until, lastly, it results in auto— intoxication of 
• the body, or of the brain, or both. 

h. Ushenko, an able surgeon, learned that, upon removing the thy- 
roid gland, the Nitrogen and Phosphorus in the urine were, 
first increased; then, as the condition progressed, immediate- 
ly- before death, the Phosphorus and Nitrogen in the urine were 
. again diminished. He found that the constructive processes 
in the body were very much. affected; that the metabolism of 
the tissues containing Phosphorus and Nitrogen were exceeding- 
ly disturbed. Certain vegetable salts were not assimilated; 
that the creatinin was diminished to a great extent; that the 
pur in bodies were alarmingly increased, and also the amido- 
acids and certain decomposition products. 

i. People who eat such foods that are rich in the Iodin element 
never suffer from goitre, scrofula, brain intoxication, ner- 
vous ailments, defective, bene and brain metabolism, to such an 
. extent as those people do who live on meat, starchy and chemi- 
cally preserved food products, on albuminous and de-mineralized 
food articles, for the reason that such free Iodin, albuminous, 
• and de-mineralized food products inflame and irritate the thy- 
roid gland, overwork the thyroid secretion excessively, and 
fill the body with decomposition products until the health suf- 
fers, brain and nerves are poisoned, tissues are filled with 
destructive acids, toxins and gases, the alimentary tract is 
in a state of corruption, and until all of the Iodin and other 
toxin-destroying material is used up in the body to such an 
extent that the toxin-destroying glands find no material for 
their functions. Then, there will be serious disease, incur- 
able chronic disorders, and lastly, death.

3. FUNCTIONS OF I ODIN IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION : (Continued) 

j. Grass-fed animals have healthy thyroid glands, and Iodin se— 
cretions in abundance. Seidell, who conducted a great many 
investigations in regard to animals which were shipped to the 
Union Stock Yards in Chicago from all parts of the American 
Union, found that the thyroid gland, in all grass-fed animals 
shipped in the fall, contains three times as much Iodin as in 
those animals that were shipped between December and May, 
which later animals had been fed on such commercial products 
that gave rise to decomposition arid albuminous toxins to such 
an extent that the led in principle was entirel}?- consumed, so 
that, lastly, the animal did not have the thyroid secretion, 
or Iodin, in sufficient quantities to neutralize the albumi- 
nous toxins. 

k. Every parent should know that the thyroid gland does not 
function in a child before that child is about two to three 
years of age, and may not function before the age of five, 
even up to twelve in some children. An albuminous diet at 
this time is very likely to produce disorders of some kind 
in the child, because the child cannot take care of albumi- 
nous toxins, nor can he eliminate them from his system. Be- 
fore the age of, perhaps, three, or before the thyroid gland 
functions in the child, nature kindly has supplied the child 
with such a diet that does not endanger his health, functions, 
and growth, viz., a milk diet. People who are growing old 
. are not able to neutralize albuminous toxins, nor to counter- 
act the production of decomposition, nor to eliminate such 
toxins and v/aste matter from their systems, because most of 
their poison-destroying secretions, including the thyroid 
gland, are weak. 

1. Iodin seems to be a sanitary police officer and brain guard, 
having his headquarters in the thyroid gland, evidently plac- 
ed there by the Wise Creator, to guard the brain, destroy the 
toxins that are harmful to the brain, to increase assimila- 
tion of certain salts and establish more normal metabolism, 
and to promote the oxidation of the brain. When Iodin is 
not present in normal amounts in the thyroid gland, certain 
■albuminous toxins and other toxins, injurious to the brain, 
are not neutralized. The thyroid secretion should be pour- 
ed into the blood as. the blood passes into the brain, to neu- 
tralize injurious toxins. 

m. Moreover, Iodin, or the thyroid secretion, has another im- 
portant, though unknown, function to perform. It is relat- 
ed to Phosphorus and Phosphorus consumption, stirring the 
brain into more vigorous action, promoting oxidation in the 
brain, increasing circulatory activity, acting on certain 
lymphatic glands, and upon special nerves of a sensory na- 
ture. 

n. Iodin is the X— Ray principle to the bra„in, Iodin, in the 
thyroid secretion, increases the rate of the pulse, lowers 
arterial pressure, increases respiration and the demand for 
Oxygen, increases the quantity of urine, and the assimila- 
tion of certain organo-metallie salts, especially Calcium. 
There is a close connection between the lack of the thyroid 
secretion, or Iodin, and Myxedema, which disease is known to 



78 

diagnosticians by — an unwieldy body, by thick, scalj skin, by 
slow muttering speech, by mental torpor" bordering on idiocy; 
by raucous collection in the connective ticmie; by destruction 
of the thyroid gland; by flabby tissues; soft bones, an idiot- 
ic expression, excessive discharge of saliva from the mouth. 

o. The lodin element has principally to do with circulation and 
neutralization of certain toxins. An lodin diet increases 
the curative power in the system in certain directions. When 
lodin is lacking, sores and ulcers appear more quickly, and 
are more difficult to cure. The thyroid secretion has its 
affect upon the uterus, or upon the lining of the uterus, upon 
the lining of the heart, and upon the intellectual function 
or upon the brain in general; not because it nourishes nor vi- 
talizes, but because it neutralizes certain toxins that would 
' have a bad effect otherwise. 

p. lodin possesses germicidal properties. It retards the growth 
; of certain germs. It possesses the power of neutralization 
of certain injurious and albuminous toxins. SO long as the 
thyroid gland is not normally developed, and not normally ac- 
tive in the child, that child should be supplied with such 
food materials as cannot decompose in the alimentary tract, 
nor give rise tc germ and germ toxins. b Lower the lodin se- 
cretion of the thyroid gland and cerebellar vigor in a boy, 
and the principle of growth is weakened, resulting in stunted 
growth. While lodin is mainly contained in the thyroid gland 
and in the thyroid secretion, it also finds its way to a great 
many other tissues and fluids, although never to any great ex- 
tent. 

q. Traces of lodin are found in some of the tissues, in the per- 
spiration, in the tears, in the saliva, in the milk, and in 
some of the discharges from the excretory organs. Transplan- 
tation of the thyroid gland, however, or the effects of hypo- 
dermic injections of thyroid extract, or the experiments on 
animals or upon humans, or drug lodin, are of no great value 
to the human body. Each man should manufacture his own lodin 
thyroid secretion. An lodin-containing diet, in normal quan- 
tities, always increases oxidation, reduces bodily weight, 
disintegrates fat and protein, creates a greater demand for 
Oxygen, increases the assimilation of organo-metallic salts, 
augments the urinary secretion of Nitrogen and Phosphorus, en- 
hances the combustion of fat, increases the elimination of 
Carbon dioxide, and has a great many other interesting effects 
upon the various organs and functions. 

r. In cretinism the results of thyroid extract medication are of- 
ten^ remarkable. Osier says: "Within six weeks, a poor, 
feeble-minded, toad-like caricature of humanity may be restor- 
ed, to bodily health . Indeed, so important is the iodothy- 
roid secretion, that, if it is lacking in a boy, or girl, that 
same boy or girl cannot become normally developed in hone, 
brain, and functions. 

4. CONSTITUT IONS IN V/IJIC H I ODIN IS INHERENTLY: 

a. Excessive: None. 

b. Deficient: Almost all people, with the exception of Calciferic, 

Oxypheric and Myogenic. Even these very often 
have a deficiency of lodin, simply because they are 
. principally living on an lodin free diet.

The patient is neurotic, and abnormally concerned about his 
future; 

He becomes highly nervous in disposition and excessively 
concerned about conditions, plans, prospects, ailments, 
work, movement, prosperity, adversity, happiness, possibili- 
ties;" or, in fact, anything that relates to his future, or 
to the future of his own immediate friends; 
This results in a hyper aesthetic state of the nervous sys-

thing that is rugged, thorny, sharp, barbed, horny, pointed, 
rough, fanged, tusked, jagged, toothed, such as fish, birds, 
or animals having spined bristles, teeth or bills; or such 
tools, instruments or knives, stones, swords, lancets,' saws, 
needles, thorns, fangs; or, in fact, anything else that is 
rough or edged; 

There is an outward pressure behind the eyeballs, with pro- 
trusion of the eyes, and a painful pressure in the eyes; 
■His vision, at a distance, is improved, but he cannot see 
well at a close range'; 

The linings are very sensitive, and the heart, eyes and sex- 
ual system become involved; 

The patient prefers to lie on her right side when she 
sleeps, or else her heart gives her trouble; 
There is a sympathetic self-concerned consciousness .between 
her paid her heart, motherhood organs, and eyes, hanging over 
her like an omen night and day; 

The endocardium, the retina, the endometrium, and the sensi- 
tive ret macula, are in a. state of hyper-erethism, tension, 
great sensitiveness, vibratory irritation and hyperalgesia; 
Excessive sensitiveness to touch (hyperaphia) is another 
mental symptom of Iodin excess; 

Abnormal nervous restlessness and emotional agitation is 
still another symptom; 

In changes of weather her nerve ends in eyes and eyelids are 
creepy; she thinks that there is something tickling and ir-

the nerve ends in her sensitive eye structures; 
Morning headache in the lower part of the backhead, travel-

9. A tendency to roll the eyes and squint; 
10^. Muttering when he speaks; 

11. A tendency to walk around buildings and hunt in nooks, cran- 
nies, waste baskets, drawers, for something; i.e., they ap- 
pear childish in action, busy with trifles, pay attention to 
foolish detail or objects, as if they are growing feeble- 
minded; 

12. The fact of the matter is, the brain substance is altered, 
degenerated, mollified, or decayed, or the brain is likely 

to become softened until it is like paste or putty; the brain 
cannot act; 

13. He cannot be kept long at anything; 

14. He does not walk like other people, but has a clumsy gait of 
his own; he appears like a blunderbuss. He may start walk- 
ing with an awkward hop, or with clumsy jumping, or with a 
careless run, in such a manner as if his motor equipment were 
not under proper control and direction; 

6 - HOW TO RE DUCE IODIN IN THE BO DY: 

a. Inasmuch as there are no people who have Iodin in excess, 
this is not necessary. 

7. HOW TO INCREASE IOD IN IN THE B ODY: 

a. Foods: Eat foods rich in Iodin, 

b. Climate: Live in a high altitude. 

c. Mental Exercise: Use mental effort, or will effort. 

d. Physical Exercise: Take a regular course of physical culture 

exercises. 

8. PEOP LE WHO REQUIRE I ODIN FOODS: 

a. In abundance: Exesthesic, Neurogenic, Pathetic, Carbofetic, 

Hydripheric , Lipopheric, Nitropheric, Palli- 
nomic, Atrophic, Pargenic. All feeble-minded 
and all silly, childish people. All people 
who eat albuminous foods to a great extent. 

b. Very little : Calciferic, Sillevitic, • Oxypheric. 

9 - INFLUENCE OF A N EXCESSI VE AHOUNT OF IODIN FOODS ON: 
■ a. Health: Favorable. 

b. Disposition: Favorable. The fact of the matter is, you tan 

never ha.ve an excessive amount of Iodin in the 
food. There is never an excess of Iodin, ex- 
cept v/hen a person uses drugs that are high in 
Iodin. Of course, it would be possible to place 
a man on a high Iodin diet and keep him on that 
diet until there is an excess of Iodin, and in 
that case it would have a bad effect, both upon 
health and upon disposition.

3. Atrophy of the mammae, wasting of the arches; 

4. Irritation of the thyroid gland, emaciation, sneezing; 

5. Running of the nose, frontal headache; 

6. Iodin diseases are always neurotic, alternating and uni- 
lateral, usually the left side of the body, and the ail- 
ments are usually always also in the linings of the heart, 
of the uterus, in the retina, and all sensitive ret macu- 
la, in sensory nerve matter, plexuses and sensoria, in

tism in the neck and shoulders, with tingling in the finger- 
tips, perhaps even finger rheumatism; uterine rheumatism, 
cardiac rheumatism, rheumatism of the head or of the eyes, 
or of the heart, or nervous rheumatism. Of course, it is 
not rheumatism, although most patients and a. great many 
• doctors may call it rheumatism. The Iodin patient's 
rheumatism is in the nerves, in the sensitive structures, 
and is always alternating and unilateral. 

12 - C HEMIC ALS IN FOODS THAT PEOPLE WITH EXCESS., I0piN_SH0yLD: 
a, Eat: Albuminous foods.

13 • VOCATIONS FOR WHICH IODIN . PEOPLE_A^_BEST_ADAPTED: 

a* Iodin has no effect upon the vocation or occupation. 

14. HELPFUL HINTS: ._ .. .. 

a. People who are anemic, diabetic, very ola, highly pat aeoic, 
or those who have a tendency to albuminuria, or those in . 
whom starch metabolism is preponderating, as, i or instance, 
the Nitrooheric, or those who are sentimental and weak in 
the mechanism of the heart, are highly sensitive to the 



82 

effects of lodin, whether it be lack or excess of lodin, or 
whether it be administered in drug form, or as it is found 
in food> 

b. The vagus nerve, and many highly sensitive nerves, ganglia and 
plexuses, are exceedingly responsive to the influence of lodin. 

c. Iodin--excess results in cardio-vascular, compressive, con- 
tractive and neurotic ailments- lodin has a semi-paralytic 
effect upon the upper eyelids. It produces a tremor in the 
nerves and heart, a high pulse, varying from 95 to 135 beats 
a minute. 

d. The lodin-hunger patient always suffers from. cardiac palpita- 
tion when he starts working, or walking, or when he otherwise 
exerts himself, even heavy breathing is likely to produce pal- 
pitation of the heart. He seems to have a "screw loose* in 
the brain. Of course, there are no "screws" in the brain, but 
the brain is in a state of deterioration, so that it can no 
longer maintain its mental function. It is being degenerat- 
ed, softened, even converted into water, in some instances. 

It is passing from an anastate to a catastate, and from a ca- 
tastate to a. still lower state. In other words,, the patient 
is degenerating. 

e. The lodin-Hunger patient craves change of scene, change of 
work, change of study, every minute of the day. Occasionally 
he is exceedingly excitable, and at all times he is d fidgety, 
though his restlessness could be called unsettled, for he is 
more like a living "jumping jack", making a thousand and one 
little motions an hour. As time goes by he, lastly, becomes 

a pronounced hermit in disposition. He can never be still 
with his eyes, fingers and feet, nor can he ever sit still 
with his whole body for any length of time. If he is sudden- 
ly placed in a high elevation, it produces respiratory oppres- 
sion and cardiac palpitation. 

f. The lodin-hunger patient suffers from atrophy of the brain, 
amyloid degeneration, hydropsic degeneration, deterioration 
in nerve and brain tissue, fatty degeneration, softening of 
the brain, anemic disintegration and liquifaction of the brain 
substance, softening of the bcnes, or of the esophagus, edeo- 
mateous degeneration, chronic endarteritis, stupidity in brain 
function, inability to learn lessons at school or pass exami- 
nations successfully, brain starvation and prostration, re-. 
suiting in simple-mindedness, enlargement of the lymphatic 
glands, caused by degenerative processes. The lymphatic 
glands become soft, moveable and doughy. 

g. The brain in the lodin-hunger patient is undergoing a molle- 
scent alteration and becomes doughy, flabby, pasty, or watery. 
Degenerative changes take place, evidently because 'toxins in 
the blood are not neutralized as the blood enters the brain, 
and because of defective oxidation in the brain tissue, .for 
lodin influences oxidation of the brain and brain-life' in some 
mysterious way, and may, moreover, perform other functions 
that favor thought, reason, understanding, perception, voli- 
tion, impulsion, indirectly. 

h. The lodin-hunger patient suffers from -soggy colds in the head, 
difficulty of pronunciation, is subject to hydro-cephaus, or 
other diseases, or degenerative processes to which lodin star- 
vation leads. Cretinism, Myxedema, ' goitre, mental degeneracv, 
stunted growth, and other ailments are closely related to 
lodin starvation. The congenital cretin, the degenerative 
cretin, the mental degenerate, with his thick neck, short

arras and legs, degenerate "brain, short stature, flabbjr tis- 
sues, large and flabby abdomen, thick lips, protruding 
tongue, large flabby idiotic face, spongy goitre, doughy, 
paste— like brain, appears to be a product of congenital 
Iodin starvation. The thyroid gland is always lacking in 
the cretin. 
i. The heart of the Iodin-hunger patient is either excessively 
slow or excessively fast, for Iodin seems to affect the in- 
hibitory nerve of the heart, and also the depressor nerve 
and center in the medulla. 
j. There is a throbbing of the throat, or of the thyroid gland, 
or throbbing in the centrum of the brain (circle of Willis). 
There is throbbing in the hepatic, gastric, spleenic ar- 
teries, or throbbing in the temples, and a throbbing in al- 
most all of the principal arteries. So soon as there is 
a throbbing in the throat, or in the thyroid, we know that 
Iodin is lacking. 

1 5 . WHEN AN -I ODIN DIET IS NEEDED : 

1. When there is a swelling of the thyroid gland or throat, or 
in times of goitre, and flabby tissue; 

2. When the skin is pale, doughy, dry, hot, cold, scaly, alter- 
nately; when the abdomen is bulky, and when the head is ex-

I. SULPH UR IN THE MINERAL AND VEGET ABLE KIN GDOMS: 

a* Sulphur is another word for brimstone. Sulphur is a non- 
metallic, combustible, smoky, acid, fitful and volcanic el- 
ement occurring in beds of clay, also in combination with 
certain metals, forming sulphates and sulphids, and occurr- 
ing in the vicinity of volcanoes, 
b. Sulphuric acid is the king of all acids. 
c.'Most Sulphur comes from vegetables and volcanoes. 



2. SULPHUR, ITS 



IHARACTERISTICS: 



a. Sulphur is almost lemon-colored, although the color varies 
somewhat in different countries, seasons _ and temperatures. 
Sulphur is a non-conductor of electricity. 

v b. It becomes a liquid between 232° and 280° Fahrenheit,^ It 

solidifies at. 320°, boils at 790°, It becomes a fluid, for 
the second time, at from 408° to its boiling point, and 
rises in vapor form at 792° Fahrenheit. 

c. Sulphur is sensitive to air currents, to atmospheric gases,, 
electricity and ferments, to heat, cold, moisture, and to 
other conditions. It is tasteless, but has a peculiar 
odor when melted, or subjected to friction. It is remarka- 
ble for its allotrophic character, or for Its ability to 
unite with all the metals and nearly all the non-metals, for 
its tendency to form crystals and for its capacity to exist 
in many forms and climes. Sulphur is insoluble in water, 
but is easily taken up by spirits of turpentine, and by cer- 
tain oils. 

d. Sulphur is used in the manufacture of gunpowder, in vulcaniz- 
ing, in the manufacture of metals and of sulphuric and sul- 
phurous acids. It is used in many arts as a Sulphur gas; 

it is used in many forms in medicine. 

c. Sulphur is a strong disinfectant, it purifies, 
f. Sulphur is not an element of strength. 

3, FUNCTION S OF SULPHUR IN T HE HUMA N O RGAN IZATION: 

a. Sulphur is contained in living tissue, being especially uti- 
lized in the construction of protoplasm. It is absorbed by 
plants as a sulphate. Sulphur promotes the flow of bile, 
but cannot subdue pain. It has a particular effect upon 
the liver, promoting the secretion of bile. 

b. A diet that is rich in Sulphur decreases the liver in a pa- 
tient who suffers from enlargement of the liver. Sulphur 
food, for that same reason, is exceedingly valuable for the 
promotion of the secretion of bile, and for the purpose of 
overcoming enlargement of the liver. 

c. Sulphur foods act upon the. cerebrum as a mild hypnotic, al- 
though its action is slow, for it requires from one to ten 
days for such a diet to act vigorously upon the brain. A 
man who eats Sulphur food to excess, lastly becomes food 
drunk, so to speak. 






86 



d. Sulphur is found in hair, nails and horny tissue. Keratin 

is a substance that is found in all horny tissue such as nails, 
hair, feathers. It Is found in the epidermic tissue of the 
skin. It is a mixture of ma.nj complex proteid substances. 
In tjie laboratory it yields tyrosin and leucin. Keratin is 
found in the cornea of the eye. Keratin differs from pro- 
teids in general in the sense that it contains a high percent- 
age of Sulphur. 

e. Sulphur is present in the combination of Sodium sulphate in 
many of the tissues and fluids. Sodium sulphate is needed in 
the tissues to a certain extent. 

f. Nearly four ounces of Sulphur are found in man. 

g. Free Sulphur is utilized by the functions almost every hour of 
the day. The Sulphur that is functionally utilized, the chem- 
ist cannot measure. He can only estimate it, though such es- 
timations would not necessarily be accurate. 

h. A Sulphur diet has a revolutionary effect on the functions, 
causing certain bodily blood taints and impurities to be 
thrown to the surface of the skin for elimination. A Sulphur 
diet acts strongly upon the skin. The nature of Sulphur is 
such that it exerts a powerful influence on the internal or- 
gans, throwing taints, miasms, impurities, etc., to the sur- 
face of the body. This results in congestion of the capilla- 
ries, veins, skin and nerve tissue at the surface of the body. 

i. Sulphur is an uproarious element, agitative, expulsive and 
convulsive. Where it is present it acts as an angry under- 
current, producing explosions at the surface, as may be seen 
in volcanoes, beneath which the Sulphur element is at work. 
Sulphur favors evaporation and surface radiation of bodily 
heat, but it increases internal heat and organic gases in the 
liver, nerves, sex brain and genitalia. 

J. Sulphur heat and organic gases escape readily through the skin 
when Sulphur is abundant in the body, and when cold winds, 
cold water or cold moisture strike the surface of the body, 
but not otherwise. 

k. A Sulphur diet has the power to force impurity to the surface 
of the skin, resulting in pimples and eruptions. Sulphur 
has a warming effect upon the skin, producing traveling waves 
of heat accompanied with ruddiness' of the skin and greater ac- 
tion in nerve function. 

1. Sulphur intensifies nerve life. It acts on every cell in the 
body. It acts upon every blood drop, upon every nerve fibre 
and cerebral neuron, and yet its work is like an angry under- 
current and a hypnotic sleep combined. It acts as an explo- 
sive, yet hypnosis on nerve life, through nerves, upon cells, 
upon nerve ends. It acts slowly and cumulatively. It is a 
stirring dynamic element, acting like a volcanoe and compell- 
ing the expulsion of disease intruders. 

m. About four percent of Sulphur is found in hair. Red hair has 
more Sulphur than golden hair. Golden hair has more Sulphur 
than sandy hair. Sandy hair has more Sulphur than light-brown

hair. Light-brown hair has more Sulphur than dark-brown 
hair. Black hair has the least proportion of Sulphur; By 
falling back upon a Sulphur diet and certain Nitrogen or 
vegetable pigments, it is possible to color the hair by diet 
alone. 

n. A. normal supply of Sulphur is necessary to regulate nerve Im— 
pulsion and to maintain a uniform temperature in the nerves, 
in the sensorial brain centers, in the sexual nerves and 
plexuses, in the spinal reflexes, in the nerves of the liver 
and kidneys, in the vaso-motor system, in the optic centers, 
in the heat centers of the body, in the Meibomian glands, in 
the oily secretions, such as the perilymph, endolymph, cere— 
bro-spinal fluid, neurolin in nerve and brain matter, in the 
gonoblastic fluid, and others. 

o. The soul life and nerve tension is great in Sulphur patients. 
Great Sulphur consumption favors versatility, emotionality, 
adaptability, purification, but not strength.

q. But nerve heat, nerve tension, tone of nerve impulsion, 

idealistic and romantic emotions, emotional soul action, im— 
pressiveness, responsiveness and soul tone, as qualities, 
are greater when Sulphur is abundantly assimilated and 
utilized. 

r. Sulphur is formative and life-sustaining. It is the agent 
of soul expres si. on. It surrounds, supports t and enters in- 
to life and nerve processes. The vitellus, or the life 
principle, in an ovum, or in the egg yolk, is supplied with 
a liberal quantity of this life-supporting, heat— producing, 
neurolinic and fomative element in an organized form. Dead 
Sulphur or inorganic Sulphur, is of no value to an ovum, nor 
to an egg yolk. The ovum pays no attention to drug Sul- 
phur. The Sulphur in the ovum could be called living Sul- 
phur, which is also the case with the Sulphur found in the 
egg yolk. 

s. Sulphur enters into and supports life in the budding proto- 
plasm of the male and female reproductive principles. With- 
out Sulphur the ovum would be useless, and so would the egg 
yolk. Without Sulphur, not a chick would be hatched, not 
an infant born. "No Phosphorus, no thought' 1 , says the Ger- 
man philosopher. He might as well have added, "No Sulphur, 
no sensation, no soul communication with body and matter, no 



88 

sense, no life and soul expression . Without Sulphur, Phos- 
phorus would soon burn out our brain, so that we would all end 
our lives in an asylum. 

t. Sulphur, however, is transformed, converted and completely re- 
organized before it enters into the workshop of thought and 
emotion, as a supporter and medium of soul expression and nerve 
life. 

u. Sulphur, moreover, has a great deal to do with the phosphoro- 
psychical processes and serves as a communication medium be- 
tween soul and brain, and between soul and sensory physical 
states. Sulphur is the communicative regulative and magnetic 
medium of thought action, nerve impulsion, soul intelligence, 
telegraphy, sensorial conduction, and emotive transmission. 

v. Lack of Sulphur affects life, nerve and soul expression, and 
results in a peculiar kind of neurasthenia, psycho-neurosis, 
enfeeblement of the mind, or psychocoma, very difficult to cure. 

w. The lady with her ovoid head, oval face, soft, velvety, warm 
and delicately rosy red skin, with her elastic, wiry, wavy, 
luxuriant, golden or light-brown hair, her warm, glittering, 
magnetic, intelligent, blue-gray or light hazel, soulfull 
eyes; whose complexional pigments change with the varying 
weather conditions as readily as the Sulphur element, or like 
the chameleon changes its colors; who is electrical in touch, 
responsive, emotional, moody, intense, fond of luxuries, ver- 
satile, fanciful, tall and proportionate, beautiful, highly 
keyed, volcanic in feelings, elastic in tissues, firm, yet 
soft in tissue, graceful in movements, firm in joints, harmo- 
nious in build, graceful and stately in form, neat, tidy and 
particular; who, among ladies, is the queen of beauty, propor- 
tion, and youth - is like a harp with a thousand strings, and 
rules palaces and the hearts of men. 

x. Sulphur is a poor conductor of muscular electricity, hence, 
retains acid in the body. 

y. Sulphur produces nerve, brain, skin and liver heat; hence, 
causes nervousness. 

z. Sulphur causes sluggishness; people with Sulphur strong, rise 
late in the morning. 

aa. Exesthesic people cannot bear hardships, nor rough life. They 
suffer first with cold hands, then warm hands; they suffer 
from heat, etc. So they must have pleasing environment. 

ab. Sulphur is sub-conscious, therefore, Sulphur people worry with- 
out realizing it. 

ac. Sulphur increases: 

a. Sensitiveness 

b. Nerve, brain and liver heat 

c. Rouses the skin 

d. A dissatisfied mind 

ad. Sulphur creates alertness and activity in the emotions.

.S*. FUNCTI ONS OF SULPHU R. IN TH E HUMAN O RGANIZATION: (Continued) 

ae. Sulphur people like cold water baths, (for the Oxygen), to 
cool the nerves and to overcome sluggishness, which accumu 
lates overnight. They desire and need abundant fresh air. 

af. Sulphur throws impurities to the surface, hence, Sulphur 
people do not contract diseases easily. 

ag. The joints of Sulphur people are nearly always weak. 

ah. Sulphur helps to construct protoplasm, promotes bile secre- 
tion, grows hair and nails. 

aJu Sulphur favors surface heat radiation. 

aj. Sulphur increases beauty of complexion. 

ak. Sulphur regulates nerve impulsion, transmission of tempera- 
ture. 

al. Sulphur is found in the life substance, in the neurolin, 
spinal fluid, brain oil. 

am. Sulphur favors soul tone. 

4. CONSTITUTION S IN WHI CH SULPHUR IS INHERENTLY: 

a. Excessive: Exesthesic, Nervi-Motive . 

b. Deficient: Calciferic, Carboferic, Nitropheric, Pargenic; 

also Exesthesic, because of excessive Sulphur 
consumption. 

5. SJMFrOMS_y/HEN SULPHUR IS EXCESSIVE: 

a. Sulphur excess makes the disposition volcanic, feelings 
moody, temperament spasmodic, desires paroxysmal. The 
person becomes similar to Sulphur - volcanic. Now she is 
well and happy, then feverish, morbid, ugly and excitable. 
Now life is a poetic dream; later the mental horizon darkens 
and nothing pleases her. Complaint, hopefulness, temper, 
love, fear, determination, peace, health, depression, joy, 
pessimism, optimism, planning, wishes, fright, courage, 
self-condemnation, distrust, pride, faith, carelessness, in- 
dependence, dependence, exclusiveness, charity, selfishness, 
economy, stinginess, liberality, serenity of mind, abuse, 
kindness, emotional excitement, sociability, geniality, ha- 
tred, cheerfulness, friendship, hostility, forgiveness, re- 
gret, doubt, trust and many other contradictory characteris- 
tics fuse, mingle, melt and separate in the laboratory of 
the soul, brain and bod}?- in such patients. 

b. They are born domestic actresses playing the leading roles 
in constantly changing dramas. From the gentleness of a 
lamb, or a loving cooing pigeon, they become angry spit- 
fires.

c The love of a man in whom Sulphur consumption is excessive is 
ardent, intense, romantic, even hyperesthetic , hut his love 
is changeable. To-day his sweetheart is a goddess, to-morrow 
he may not care for her, nor for marriage, home, friends , 
studies, nor even life itself. The Sulphur patient is sulky 
in the morning, but happier towards evening. 

d. The functions are torpid in the morning. The real day be- 
gins at about eleven o'clock with a Sulphur patient. Before 
that time she is only half awake, possibly angry, irritable 
and .hard to please. Emotional and complexional changes are 
peculiar to Sulphur .patients. They are fitful, capricious, 
acid, touchy, particular, fastidious and sometimes volcanic. 

e. They are subject to spasmodic moods. She changes quickly 
from gay to sad, from lively to indolent, from respose to im- 
pulse, from alacrity to lassitude. They have their spells 
of ill-humor, are cranky and repellant by turns, and easily 
throv/n into a nerve panic. 









Counting mania is a Sulphur symptom. Dry hair, trembling pu- 
pils, dependent pride and a Ferric taste in the mouth are pro- 
minent Sulphur symptoms. 

g- Excessive Sulphur consumption results in the generation of 
Hydrogen sulphid gas, which destroys the Iron in the red cor- 
puscles of the blood. The Iron in the hemoglobin of the 
blood is metamorphosed, and its ferric essence gives rise to 
this Iron taste in the mouth. 

h. The Sulphur patient longs for food rich in Sodium, chocolate, 
juicy food, tart beverages, sour cooling mucilagenous drinks, 
or tonics, greens, vegetables, strong tea.- They may even 
long for beer in hot sultry weather, or for vinegar, because 
of ferments and gas pressure. 

i. Eating alleviates her symptoms for the time being, but aggra- 
vates her ailments in a few hours. She may say that her 
head feels as if it had been lifted away. This is nothing 
but brain tension. 

j. She has a craze for frosty air, nightly room breezes, storm 
and elemental commotion. She is a fresh-air enthusiast. 
She wants the cold wind to play upon her face in her bed room. 
Intense cold has a pleasing effect upon her, 

k. The catamenial function is often spasmodic. She is very for- 
getful. She is, sometimes, as peevish as a petulant baby* 
A warm room smothers her. Decumbent bed positions irritate 
the sensory nerves in her. Procumbent bed positions are 
resting. Sitting results in tension and flatus. Talking 
weakens the brain, producing lassitude and provokes temper. 
Erect static positions urge the blood to the liver, spleen, 
heart, producing pain in those organs. Climbing results 
in dizziness. 

1. Fresh, breezy air, or looking at cool, heaving billows, or 
seeing thunderbolts, or being out in the rain and storm, al- 
ways soothe her nerves and pacify her emotions.

5, SYMPTOMS WHEN SULPHJR IS EXCESSIVE: (Continued) 

m. The Sulphur lady is a puzzle to doctors. She does things 
by fits and starts. She is unequable, spleeny, whimsical, 
captious, and fitful. Now she is well, and then she is 
sick. She is a good soul, but a freak to her husband. 
She dislikes cookery odors, fumes and heat. 

5a , SYMPTOMS 'THEN SULP HUR IS DEFICIE NT: 

a. Pressure, tension, fitfulness, fussiness, impatience, weak 
ankles, late hours, prominent emotional irritability, fond- 
ness for change and variety, tendency to hysterial outbursts, 
volcanic outgushes of emotion with extreme impatience and 
touchiness. Intentions may be noble, but they are spasmo- 
dic. The disposition is affected. This affects accom- 
plishments. The finger muscles are jerky. 

b. The transmission of nerve impulse from the brain is fitful. 
The nerve pressure is increased, which affects the blood 
vessels. Dizziness, dislike for prolonged talking and rea- 
soning, weakness of the throat are Sulphur-hunger symptoms. 
The patient craves vigorous pressure or massage, but dis- 
likes gentle touches or massage movements. She may be am- 
bitious, but lacks in fortitude. Swallowing is difficult. 
Her pulse is short and quick. She sleeps late in the morn- 
ing and is up late at night. The appetite is poor in the 
morning. The skin pigment is similar to the color of Sul- 
phur. Her complexion changes many times during the day. 

c. Like Sulphur, she is sensitive to temperatural changes, or 
atmospheric gases and fumes. The epigastric region is sore. 
Gas generates in the alimentary tract, and red corpuscles 
are broken down in great numbers. She suffers from stuffi- 
ness, air hunger, acid formation, gas generation, lack of 
Magnesium and blood salts. 

d. The vocal organs are in a state of dryness, and her throat 
is filled with mucus. She feels faint and seeks a dark, 
quiet,, cool room. She feels stuffy in head, feet, liver 
and spleen. She gets out of breath easily in sultry places, 
or in warm rooms. 

e. She is peevish in disposition, fitful in moods, changeable 
in wishes. She is always tired in the morning. Her eye- 
lids are weak, so she can hardly open them in the morning. 

f. The nervous system, the sensory nerves, the portal system, 
the liver, the colon, the spleen and the virilia are usually 
the seat of trouble. 

g. Hydrogen sulphid is the main cause of her ailments for the 
following reasons: 

1. Sulphur consumption is too great; 

2. Sulphur is not normally assimilated; 

3. Sulphur food is not properly combined in the diet 
with Magnesium, Sodium and Iron; 



92 

4. The alimentary canal, the tissues and the secre- 
tions are always in a state of acidity so that un- 
less antiacid food is combined with Sulphur food, 
food-containing Sulphur forms more acid and more gas; 

5. Because of Sulphur acid and gas, and also because of 
lowered oxidation, destroyed blood salts and not 
enough Sodium supplied, the carbonic acid is not pro- 
perly excreted; 

6. Irritability, emotionality, petulance, pains, discom- 
fort, so much Phosphorus is broken down in the brain 
that Phosphorus products become another source of acid- 
ity, destroying the Magnesium supply, leaving the 
eliminative avenues filled with waste matter in which 
germs and germ toxins thrive, only to aggravate her 
ailments still more. 

h. She suffers from anemic, anoxyeraic, hypoaloneraic states of the 
system. The menses are spasmodic, as are many of the physi- 
cal functions. 

i. She dislikes small towns, crude people, stingy men, literary 
platitudes. She needs intermissions of rest. 

j. She is an excellent judge of art and culture, refinement, clas- 
sics, beauty and platonization. 

- k. She is often cross in behaviour, touchy in disposition, cap- 
tious in moods, irritable in temper, freakish in wishes, fit- 
ful in love, often repellent to others in word and action, al- 
though she does not mean any harm. She is proud, yet sensi- 
tive. 

1. The complexion may be pale pink, or delicately ruddy, because 
of capillary congestion and nerve irritation at the surface of 
the skin. 

m. Impetuosity is her greatest fault. Her mind acts faster than 
her tongue. Hence, when her tongue refuses to act as fast as 
her mind or emotions, it results in tongue panic, or hysteria. 

n. She is stubborn from sentiment, but not from reason. Kindness 
falls as softly on her nerves as oil and cotton around the 
heart. 

o. She has many wavering, moody, variable, fitful, haughty moods, 
but she is never fickle. she wants to be humored. She is 
gloomy moody, careless, tired, dull, gay, jealous, playful, 
quarrelsome, loving, sympathetic, restless, nervous, lonely, 
saa, timid, weary, faint, by turns. 

p. She dislikes foreigners and other races. She dislikes also 
long sermons. She has an instinctive fear of snakes and wars. 

q. She is a poor judge of motion, distance, time, balance, effi- 
ciency, real values, speed, momentum, mechanics, kinematics, 
psychics. ' ■ 

r. Direct questions irritate her. Her sense of balance is dis- 
turbed.

5a. SYMPTOMS WHEN SULPHUR IS DEF ICIENT: ( Cont inue d ) 
s. She worries much about her good looks. 

t. She is a patient for a high altitude, frosty air and mois- 
ture. She is a hypoaloneraic patient. 

u. It is Sulphur gas or Sulphur products that are at the foun- 
dation of all of those symptoms. They are Sulphur Symp- 
toms. She is not herself when Sulphur is very active in 
her. 



6. HOW TO REDUCE SULPHUR IN THE BODY: 



a. Foods: 

b. Climate: 



c. Mental Exercise: 



Omit foods rich in Sulphur. 
Live in a high altitude in the hills, 
where the air is fresh and the climate is 
cold and dry. 

Do not use the emotional mind or brain 
any more than necessary. In other words, 
avoid temper, passion, fretting, nervous- 
ness, irritability, and other unfavorable 
emotions, 
d. Physical Exercise: Spend much time in the cold, dry, fresh, 

open air. Take plenty of horseback ex- 
ercises, rowing exercises, and walking 
exercises. Take, in addition, very cold 
sponge or shower baths. Never take Tur- 
kish baths, or any other hot or warm 
baths, whether sick or well. 



7. HO W TO INCREAS E^ SULPHUR IN THE BODY: 
a, Foods: 



Cooked 



b. Climate: 

c. Mental Exercise; 



Eat foods rich in raw Sulphur. 
Sulphur foods generate gas. 
Live in a low altitude where the atmos- 
phere is warm and stuffy. 
Use the emotional brain much. 



d. Physical Exercise: Stay indoors much, and be lazy. 

8. PEOPLE ^V H^REQUIRE_SULPHL T R FOODS: 

a. In abundance: Phlegmatic people, stupid people, people who_ 

use their brain much, Exesthesic, Calciferic, 
Carboferic, Nitropheric, Atrophic, and Pargenic 
people. Exesthesic people require raw Sul- 
phur foods because of excessive Sulphur con- 
sumption. 

b. Very little : Healthy Exesthesic and healthy Nervi-Motive 

people; also Myogenic, Oxypheric, and Lipo— 
pheric people. 

9. INFLUENCE OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SULPHU R FOODS ON: 

a. Health: It results in disease, 

b. Disposition: The disposition becomes spasmodic.

IN UHOfrl SULPHUR IS IN EXCESS: 
"Fevers"~become intermittent; disposition varies, symptoms change, 
diagnosis becomes difficult; 

b. Sulphur acts on the cells, skin and sex life, but when eaten 
to excess, digestion is disturbed, assimilation suffers, Hy- 
drogen sulphid is generated, making short work of the red cor- 
puscles of the blood; 

c. It results in bloating, congestion, skin affections, acrid 
discharges, tension, constriction, rose rash, headache, psori- 
asis, burning in the soles of the feet, sudden prostration, 
spasmodic symptoms, hysteria, catamenial disorders, dizziness, 
drowsiness, muscular weakness, formation of tumors, auto- 
intoxication, de-oxidation. Hypoalonemia, hypoemia, pares- 
thesia, erotic habits, temper, boils, pustules; 



d. Fhenard says that: 
1. 
2. 



One' fifteen hundredths percent of Hydrogen sulphid in 
the air kills a bird; 

One eight hundredth percent of this gas in the atmos- 
phere is fatal to a dog; 
2. One two hundred and fiftieth percent kills a horse; 



Phenard says 'that a man can withstand from one to three per- 
cent of this gas in the atmosphere for a brief time, but last- 
ly the man suffers from faintness, vertigo, trembling, con- 
vulsions, de-oxidation of the blood, because -- this gas unites 
with the Iron in the hemoglobin in the red corpuscles of the 
blood and destroys the power of the blood to carr3?- Oxygen.

14 . HELPFUL HINT S: 

a. Sulphur acid and gas products lessen the blood salts and re- 
duce oxidation. A blood test does not reveal the trouble, 
for even if the number of the red corpuscles is up to the 
normal, the condition of the hemoglobin is such that the red 
corpuscles cannot carry Iron - not even when the Iron is 
present in the hemoglobin, nor when the hemoglobin is up to 
normal. This is the reason why every Sulphur patient is 
more or less anoxyemic, and this is also the reason why the 
Sulphur lady is a fresh air maniac. 

b. Under the influence of Sulphuric acid the tissues suffer, 
especially the mucous membranes. It neutralizes the alka- 
li, abstracts wat^r and precipitates albumin. It burns 
the stomach, the throat, and produces intense thirst. It 
leads to collapse and suffocation. 

c. Sulphuric acid is known by the black stain which it produces 
on lemons. It overcomes the alkalinity of the blood, mak- 
ing the secretions and the system acid, and interfering with 
the removal of carbonic oxide from the tissues. 

d. In carnivorous animals, in meat eaters, Sulphuric acid pro- 
duces ammonia in the tissues and fluids, thus protecting 
the blood salts. 

e. Food preparations that are treated with various kinds of 
Sulphuric acid or Sulphur preparations, and eaten, lead to 
doctor bills, operations, sickness, loss in efficiency and 

a great deal of suffering. Never eat Sulphur- treated foods. 

f . Sulphur is cumulative. It is retained from day to day un- 
til auto-intoxication, in all its forms, develops. A diet 
that is rich in raw Sulphur should be supplied when the

16. PRINCIPAL SULPHUR FOODS (ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED): 



a, 



Horseradish is too stimulating to the vital 



organs, skin func- 
tion, and to the brain. It acts as a fire, and leads to tem- 
per, bad habits, profanity, and ugly deeds. Hence, horsera- 
dish should be consumed sparingly, except by stupid and feeble' 
minded people. 



Mineral Sulphur is very high in Ash Content, but contains no 
Vitamines, and should never be consumed as a drug, or as a 
food preservative, because it is harmful to the liver, and .to 



a great many othe 


r vital functions.

1. MA GNESIUM IN THE MIN ER AL AND VEGETABLE KI NGDOMS: 

a. Magnesium is one of the metals of the alkaline earths, wide- 
ly distributed in organic matter. It is also a constituent 
of animal and vegetable tissue. Magnesium is found in many 
rocks, such as soapstone, talc, dolomite, augite, and others. 
The bitter taste in sea water and in certain mineral waters, 
is due to the salts of Magnesium. 

b. Dolomite is composed of Magnesium carbonate, Calcium carbo- 
nate, and of these compounds a hydraulic cement is made that 
hardens and sets under water, 

2. MAGNESIUM , ITS NATURE AND C HARACTERISTICS : 

a. The fusing point of Magnesium is 446 degrees Fahrenheit. It 
is a gray-white metal having a silvery lustre, and is malle- 
able, ductile. 

b. It is light in weight, alkaline, flexible, conferring these 
same qualities to- human tissue, thus making the tissue al- 
kaline, supple, elastic and pliable. It produces elastic- 
ity and leanness to vegetables and to tissues. 

c. It is a white, earthy, insoluble, absorbant, anti-acid, mild- 
ly cathartic, tasteless powder, occurring in nature, but 
usually prepared artificially ► 

d. When Magnesium combines with Oxygen it becomes Magnesia. 
Magnesia is a Magnesium oxide. Kydrated carbonate is call- 
ed Magnesia alba; which is used considerably in medicine. 
Magnesium is the metallic base of Magnesia. 

e. In taste, Magnesium is tart or pungent. 

3. FUNCTIONS OR MAGNESIUM IN THE HUM AN ORGANIZATION: 

a. It is Magnesium that produces that pungent bitterness which 
is peculiar to Epsom salts, and it is the combined action 
of Magnesium and Sulphur that gives the laxative and purga- 
tive properties to Epsom salts. In whatever food Magnesium 
is present, that food becomes a laxative to the bowels. 
Magnesium is found in abundance in certain natural mineral 
waters, such as - Pullna, Rubinat, Carlsbad, Friedrickshall, 
Hunyadi Janos. Such waters are highly laxative and purga- 
tive, if taken in great quantities. These waters are very 
often highly unfavorable to many different kinds of patients. 
It is much better for patients to fall back upon laxative 
Magnesium-containing foods in times of costive habits, than 
to fall back upon mineral waters. 

b. Normally $here is about three ounces of Magnesium, or a lit- 
tle more, entering the body tissues, but Magnesium is used 
functionally from birth to death by every man. Bodily 
function cannot be maintained very long without this alka- 
line, laxative, flexibility— producing and nerve— calming 
element. 



100 

e. Magnesium makes the body fluids more alkaline, and also the 
tissues, tendons, muscles, nerves, more elastic. It produces 
flexibility to limbs and joints. It has a pleasing affect 
upon the bowels. It acts upon glands, serous and mucous mem- 
branes, on the trophic nerves, nerves of excretion and elimi- 
nation, upon the generative function, upon the processes of 
life in general. 

d. Magnesium food is purifying, cool, alkaline, laxative, nerve- 
calming and sleep— producing. It is not sleep-producing be- 
cause of anaesthetic properties, but because it counteracts 
body gases, toxins and acids, and auto— intoxication products. 
It is purifying to the intestines. 

e. In case of poison from aluminum, barium, ferrous sulphate, 
Phosphorus, muriatic acid, antimony, chlorid, all sorts of 
Magnesium foods^ and even Magnesium drugs, are highly recom— 
mendable. They are equally essential in cases of ptomaine 
poisoning. Magnesium foods prevent phosphatic deposits from 
forming in joints and solid structures, which otherwise would 
possibly result in gout, arthritis, bone ailments; especially 
when uric acid and urea are present in tissues and fluids, and 
when the eliminative avenues are partly closed up, obstructed, 
or slow. 

f . Magnesium promotes brain action, indirectly, by neutralizing 
Phosphorous products generated by strenuous brain action - 
excessive Phosphorus consumption. It has a cooling effect 
upon the nervous system and brain. It prevents sleeplessness 
because it prevents noxious acids, gases, and toxins from tak- 
ing effect upon the body. A Magnesium diet is preferrable 

to opiates. 

g. Magnesium is a sedative to the nerves. It helps in filtra- 
tion, osmosis, most of the eliminative functions. It pre- 
vents congestion and hardening processes from taking place. 
It increases magnetization, alkalization, as well as electri- 
fication, which takes place in the muscles. 

h. Magnesium acts favorably upon highly sensitive, sympathetic, 
yet excitable natures, upon highly sentimental, high tempered 
people, upon erratic natures, upon highly pathetic and roman- 
tic ladies, upon all people in whom motor impulsions, brain 
ganglia, nerve nets, and sensory nerves are excessively ac- 
tive, hot, irritated and inflamed, or in whom the whole neurol 
machinery acts under high nerve tension. One of its greatest 
spheres is its sphere of counteracting broken down Phosphor- 
ous products. 

i. Magnesium phosphate, together with Calcium phosphate, is found 
in a small quantity in almost all tissues. Magnesium carbo- 
nate is found in small traces in the blood. Magnesium acts 
favorably upon the algesic function, upon eliminative avenues, 
organs and functions, upon certain acids, toxins, germs and 
gases, but not upon all. 

j. Magnesium helps to construct the white fibres of the muscles 
and of the nerves, which is an important functional sphere of 
Magnesium. Magnesium uses- water and albumin, from which it

3. FUNCTIONS OF MAGNESIUM IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZ ATION: (Continued) 
helps to form a transparent fluid for the construction of 
the white muscular and nerve fibres, 

k. Magnesia is converted by the acids in the stomach into solu- 
ble salts, which salts are highly laxative. Magnesia is an 
antidote to arsenical poisoning. Magnesium carbonate stirs 
up the abdominal contents, resulting in gas generation and 
consequent disagreeable eructations v/hen the stomach is acid, 
but removes indigestible products from the stomach and the 
intestines, being, therefore, a valuable vehicle to carry 
out auto—intoxication products caused by wrong diet in times 
of a very acid stomach. 

1. Magnesium, like Chlorin, is a cleansing, laxative, germici- 
dal element, only in a different capacity . It is cooling 
to the nerves and nerve nets, sensitive linings in cells, 
and to the algesic functions in the cerebrum. 

m. Magnesium foods should be liberally eaten by all people who 
are highly impulsive, excitable, nervous, emotional, sensi- 
tive, and hyperesthetic. 

n. Magnesium food relaxes the brain, promotes sleep, cools the 
liver, assuages fevers, calms nerve ends and nerve nets, 
stops a certain kind of heat, soothes the generative system, 
stops contraction in motor nerves, relieves neurotic cramps, 
reduces temper, relieves pain in perineural, periosteal 
structures, or in linings containing fine nerves capable of 
intense pain sensations, mainly by neutralizing certain 
acids, destroying germ life, and rushing corruptive matter 
out of the system. 

o. Magnesium food is important when the nerve and brain oil has 
dried up by seances, by excessive passion, by hypnotism, by 
exhausting healing practices, by overwork of the brain, by 
hypnotic trances, instituted by poisonous snakes, or other- 
wise, leaving nerve and brain matter hot, dry and irritated. 

p. It is important when the mind wanders, or when the patient 
indulges in excesses, or when he is clairvoyant, or when he 
is possessed by irrational moods. 

q. It is important for neural and cerebral functioning, not di- 
rectly but indirectly. An intense nervous system, keen al- 
gesic functions, great Phosphorus and Sulphur consumption, 
resulting in Phosphorous and Sulphurous products, require 
Magnesium food. It makes the tissues flexible, supple, al- 
kaline, the disposition quiet, the mind serene, the temper, 
placid, the nerves restful, the deportment sedate, principal- 
ly by its laxative, eliminative, neutralizing and germici- 
dal properties. 

r. Magnesium is the most relaxing and cooling of all chemical 
elements. 



102 

s. Too much Magnesium relaxes and makes sluggish the brain and 
body, and irritates the mucous membrane and deranges the sex 
functions. 

t. Magnesium is required as follows: 

1. For elimination 

2. For bodily sanitation 

3. To clear up pale, muddy complexion 

4. To make brain more active 

5. To prevent tumors on brain 

6. To furnish fibre for the brain 

4. CONSTIT UTIONS IN WHICH MAGNE SIUM IS INH E REN TLY: 

a. Excessive: None. 

b. Deficient: Almost all Constitutions, but especially, Exesthesic, 

Nervi-Motive , Neurogenic, Pathetic, Desmogenic, Ma~ 
rasmic, Calciferic, Isogenic, Sillevitic, Carboferic, 
Oxypheric, Atrophic, Medeic and Fargenic; in fact, 
all Constitutions where there is a great deal of 
excitement and brain activity. 

5. SYMPTOMS . W HEN MAGNESIUM IS EXCES SIVE: 

a. If Magnesium be excessively introduced in drug form, or per- 
haps even in food form, it takes the vim out of nerve matter, 
producing semi— anaesthetic states of the nervous system, re- 
sulting as follows: 

1. Impairs the brain; 

2. Oppresses the mind; 

3. Hebetates the centres; 

4. Deadens the nerves and perception,, and results in weak- 
mindedness; 

5. Results in great drowziness in working hours, and terrifying 
dreams ; 

6. Affects the brain areas of fear and prevision; 

7. Blunts the perception of quantity, place, duration, distance 
and time; 

8. Power of recognition and identification of people and objects 
is partially lost; 

9. Lack of judgment and perception of the objective world, or of 
place, duration, distance, time, quantity, form, shape and 
constituency; 

10. The place perception is unreliable, as are most all percep- 
tive brain compartments; 

11. Life is like a lethargic dream; 

12. Abhors teasing; 

13. Makes foolish answers, and is not conscious of his own answers 
and deeds, nor of the answers and deeds of other people; 

14. Is not interested in life and business; 

15. He cautions the people in regard to future evils; 
16.. He imagines that fate is against him; 

17. He has delusions in regard to defunct people, dead animals, 
blood; 

18. He has day visions accompanied by horrible fears; 

19. The nerves in the small intestines, and the nerves in the en- 
tire alimentary tract, are unfavorably affected; 

20. Phosphorus and Sulphur products are not eliminated, or possi- 
bly Magnesium has a bad effect upon the Sulphur and Phosphor- 
us elements.

the algesic centres in the brain, perhaps 6tops the pain 
sensation entirely for some time, even when morphine fails; 

HO W TO REDUCE MAGNESIU M IN THE JBODY : 

a. Foods: Omit foods and drugs rich in Magnesium. 

No food chemicals counteract Magnesium in 
the body except albumin, and albumin can- 
not be utilized except by physical laborers. 
No special affect. A hot, dry climate 
may possibly reduce excess of Magnesium. 
Use the intellect and the emotions very 
actively, especially the emotions. 

d. Physical Exercise: No special affect. 



b. Climate: 

c. Mental Exercise:

7. HOW TO INCREASE MAGNESIUM IN THE BODY : 
a. Foods: 



Eat Magnesium-containing foods. 
Omit high albuminous foods. 
Live in a cool, soothing, ozonic climate 
in the hills at a medium altitude. 
Stop using the intellect and the emotion- 
al mind, especially the emotions and the 
passions. 
Physical Exercise: No special affect, except perhaps easy 

exercises. 



b. Climate: 



c. Mental Exercise: 



8. PEOPLE WHO REQUIRE MAGNESIUM FOODS: 



a. In abundance 



b. Very little: 



All Constitutions, especially all excitable 
people, hot— headed people, high strung people, 
nervous and emotional people, all hard brain 
workers, all intense temperaments. 
Nitropheric people, also easy-going Isogenic 
people who are very dark in complexion. 



INFLUENCE OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF MAGNESIUM FOODS ON : 

a. Health: Irritation of the mucous membranes, derange- 

ment of metabolism, disturbance of menstruation, 
colic, spasmodic functions. It is almost im- 
possible to eat Magnesium food to excess except 
when Magnesium food is selected and eaten in 
combination with foods rich in no other 
chemicals. 

b. Disposition: Drowzy, dreamy, lethargic, listless, enertia, 

ill-humored.. 



10 ^ INFLUENCE OF A DEFICIENT AMOUNT OF MAGNESIUM FOODS ON : 

a. Health: It results in ill health. 

b. Disposition: The disposition becomes fussy, nervous, irri- 

tated, nerve centers erratic, nerves irritated, 
the emotions hyperesthetic, the alimentary 
tract full of disease germs, linings become in- 
flamed, angry pimples appear, the urine becomes 
hot, red, turbid, smoky, and loaded with Phos- 
phorus; it results in darting pains, colic, 
membranous contraction, neurotic cramps, psycho- 
neurotic ailments, hysterical, sensational, 
neuro-dynamic impressions, irrational actions, 
carbonic or acid nerved, pericranial pains, and 
also mental disorders, such as Dementia, or 
Paranoia, caused by defective communication in 
the white fibres in the brain. 



106 

11 . DISEASE TENDENCIES OF PEOPLE IN WHOM MAGNESIUM IS IN EXCESS : 
"TT~Nerve matter becomes unsettled almost to the point of nerve 
block, because the white nerve fibres are not able to trans- 
mit mental, motor and sensory dictates, impulsions and sen- 
sations; 

2. The white brain matter becomes pulpy, gluey, leaving the pa- 
tient in a weak-minded condition with many delusions, result- 
ing in Paranoia; 

3. It may develop into atrophy of the brain, shrinking of the 
cerebral meninges, loss of perception, reason, sequence of 
expression, self direction and control; 

4. It may result in hypertrophy, intestinal adhesions, the gen- 
eration of gas, resulting in disagreeable eructations; 

5» The entire alimentary tract may become irritated, gluey and 
pulpy, resulting in abdominal obesity and later on, great 
emaciation; 

6. Fluids may be abstracted from the tissues and blood, resulting 
in the drinking of fluids to excess, and in the rushing of 
vital nutrition through the intestines; 

7. It results in weakness of the alimentary tract, muscular re- 
laxation, drowziness of function, sluggishness in the cell 
activity; 

8. It may irritate and deaden the catamenic function; 

9. It may result in mind paralysis, nauseation, beer drinking to 
•excess, alcoholic hypertrophy, disturbance of brain function, 

and even Dementia; 

12 . CHEMICALS IN FOODS THAT PEOPLE WITH EXCESS MAGNESIUM SHOULD : 

a. Eat: Any kind of food that has a constipating, overheating 

affect, 

b. Avoid: Foods containing Magnesium and also drugs containing 

Magnesium. 

15- VOCATIONS, FOR WHICH MAGNESIUM PEOPLE AEE BEST ADAPTED : 

a. As Magnesium has no Constitution that we know of, Magnesium 
itself has no particular influence upon the various occupa- 
tions, or upon the talent and skill of the patient, except 
that Magnesium always produces greater elasticity and pliabil- 
ity, and therefore, greater manual skill, as well as more ra- 
pid communication in the brain fibres. 

14. HELPFUL HINTS : 

a. Epsom salts is another name for Magnesium sulphate. This 
salt has a powerful effect upon auto-intoxication products, 
accumulated in the intestines; 

b. Increasing the puridity in the intestines, by attracting fluids 
from the intestinal structures and contents, and by rushing 
fluids, germs, auto-intoxication products and excreta and all 
out of the intestines. Perhaps no other salts have a more 
beneficial affect upon the colon if used in a warm water ene- 
ma injected into the colon for purposes of colon irrigation, 

if people will eat such foods that are rich in- Magnesium they 
do not need to take Epsom salts, nor Citrate of Magnesia.

14. HE LPFUL HINTS : (Continued) 

c. Citrate of Magnesia, if drunk to excess at a time when the 
alimentar^r tract is not in an acid condition, is very like- 
ly to coat the entire alimentary tract with an earthy coat- 
ing, but if the alimentary tract is in an acid condition, 
it has no such effect, 

d. Excess of Magnesium results in deficient communication of 
cerebral impulses. 

e. Patients who are obese become more obese under the influ- 
ence of Magnesium foods and drugs, and patients who are lean 
become more lean under the influence of an excess of Mag- 
nesium foods and drinks. 

f . People who drink beer or liquor to excess always suffer from 
alcoholic hypertrophy, and from intestinal adhesions. 

g. Vibratory motion of trains produces neuralgia, nerve tremb- 
ling, toothache and other pains in a. Magnesium— hunger pa- 
tient. Tempera. tural changes, great excitement, outbursts 
of temper, gases in the atmosphere or in the room, smokes, 
fumes, drafts, great artificial room heat, always end up in 
severe neuralgia. The whole nervous system is in a. state 
of hyper— nervous tension. Walking results in weakness and 
pe^in in the back. When the patient is jarred or lies in 
one position, or stretches, or bends down to lift something 
heavy, the nerves and the nerve nets in the viscera are 
irritated. 

h. Magnesium-hunger is closely related to the birth of vicious, 
high-tempered, defective children, with greater tendency to 
neurotic and psychotic habits.

LESSON SHEET. COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. SUBJ ECT-PHOSPHORU S . 

1 • PHOSPHORUS IN THE MINERAL AND VEGET ABLE KIN GDOMS. 

a. Phosphorus is widely distributed in some rocks, in fertile 
soil, in animal and vegetable tissues, in gualo. Phosphates 
perform an important nf unction in mineral and plant growth. 
The most important Phosphates are Calcium phosphate, Sodium 
phosphate, and phosphate of Magnesia. Phosphatic manures 
are used much to replenish soils, and consist of bone phos- 
phate mixed with other phosphates. Metallic Phosphorus 
compounds are often called phosphides. 

b. A species of calcareous earth or phosphate of lime is used 
much for improving and fertilizing the soil in the interest 
of crops and plants. Phosphoric acid is present in the 
soil, principally in combination with lime and phosphate of 
lime from the soil in the form of phosphates, which phos- 
phates are found mainly in that plant part which is rich in 
protoplasmic cell contents, 

c. A good phosphate supply is needed to promote Nitrogen assim- 
ilation in plants. Phosphorus is found in the casein of 
milk, in egg yolk, in the hulls of wheat, corn, barley, oats 
and buckwheat, which hulls the miller usually discards, and 
which are fed to pigs and horses, which are needing Phos- 
phorus less than man. 

d. It is difficult for a weak stomach to digest oatmeal, wheat 
bread made of whole wheat, and other solid food, but it is 
more easy to digest and extract Phosphorus from certain 
grains easy of digestion, from easily digested vegetables, 
from fish and properly prepared fish broths, for such people 
whose digestion is poor, 

e. Phosphorus is found in decayed wood, which changes to soil, 
rocks, etc; then into the vegetable kingdom, then through 
food to the brain. 

z > PHOSPHORUS, ITS NATURE AND CHARACTERIS TICS: 

a. Through chemical studies in the laboratory, we learn that 
Phosphorus is a non-metallic, highly poisonous, yellowish 
white and somewhat waxy element; that its melting point is 
from 108 to 111 degrees; .that it vaporizes at 550 degrees; 
that it does not conduct electricity. It is inflammable 
and burns with a white flame. It undergoes slow combustion 
when exposed to air in an ordinary temperature. It emits a 
white vapor and appears luminous in the dark. 

b. Phosphorus must be kept under water in order to keep it. It 
is insoluble in water, and slightly soluble in alcohol. 

c. Through medical studies we learn that it is one of the most 
powerful stimulants known; that it is one of the most diffu- 
sible, and also exceedingly poisonous. Phosphorus is allo- 
trophic, for by keeping Phosphorus long below its boiling 
point, it can be precipitated in another form. 



HZ 

d. This other form is called red Phosphorus, This form of Phos- 
phorus is very different in its properties than ordinary Phos- 

• phorus, being red, "brittle, hard, non-poisonous, and not easi- 
ly combustible. If red Phosphorus be heated to 500 degrees, 
it again changes into its former form of Phosphorus and burns 
in a lurid flame, 

e. Formerly Phosphorus was called Lucifer, meaning - son of 
Satan - a Latin word, meaning carrier of light. The word 
Phosphorus is the Greek word for this element, and means. bear- 
er of light. 

f » A great many phosphorescent phenomena are produced by Phospho- 
rus when it is present in objects. Phosphorus shines in the 
dark. Putrefying fish often contain so much Phosphorus that 
they have a luminous appearance. The glow-worm is so deeply 
laden with Phosphorus that it produces a beautiful light in 
the dark. We are informed by the chemists that the fire-flies 
of the West Indies are charged with Phosphorus to such an ex- 
tent that they give such a brilliant light that it is possible 
to read at night in the light produced by them. Multitudes 
of polyzoa.-and microscopic organisms inhabiting seas, swamps, 
rivers and bogs contain Phosphorus in such quantities that it 
. often appears that they are on fire with lurid flames leaping 
to and fro. In grave-yards and on some boats, where Phospho- 
rus-bearing objects and polyzoa are plentiful, many wonderful 
light effects are exhibited", 

g. Apparently supernatural,- spiritualistic performances are pro- 
duced by this wonderful element Phosphorus, which God has also 
designated as the brain medium of soul expression, This lu- 
minosity of Phosphorus is seen in animals, some possessing more 
than others of this phosphorescent quality, as., for instance, 
jelly-fish, seatens, glow-worms, earth worms, fresh water 
worms, and marine worms,* and also fishes that, swim in deep wa- 
ter, some of which are like so many phosphorescent luminaries 
in their watery home* 

iu Phosphorus is the element of life, considered from the view- 
point of intelligence. 

i* Phosphorus is an affinity for Sulphur and unites with it; it 
is used with Sulphur in matches. 

3 * FACTIONS OF PHOSPHORUS IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATIO N: 

a* The use and function of Phosphorus in the human body is more 
important, we think, than the chemical studies of Phosphorus 
as manifested in mineral and vegetable life. Normally. Phos- 
phorus enters into the body to the extent of about two' pounds; 
almost enough of poison to kill one quarter of all the people 
in Chicago. And yet, although one single man has that' much 
poison in his brain and body, he can live and thrive, . Phos- 
phorus is directly -associated with the nucleus in oell matter. 
It is present in the fluid and solid tissues in the form of . 
Potassium phosphate. In the bones it is found as Calcium 
phosphate.

3. F UNCTIONS OF PHOSPHOR U S IN THE HUMAN OR GANIZATION: (Continued) 

b. Phosphorus improves the nutrition of nervous tissue, especial- 
ly, and helps to make the bones more dense. It acts upon 
the sensory nerves, upon the sensory seat in the brain, upon 
the nerve nets, upon the. sympathetic system, upon the nerves, 
nerve nets and ganglia in general, especially those that cone 
from the heart. It has a stimulating effect upon the gen- 
erative organs, and upon the bone-producing functions, when 
normally supplied. 

c. Phosphorus is essential to the higher intellectual functions, 
for the idealistic, altruistic, religious and psychic emo- 
tions, for the subjective functions of the brain, for the 
physical senses, especially those of taste and touch. 

d. Phosphorus, when associated with the stronger elements, stim- 
ulates the tissues to greater action in the metabolic func- 
tion, 

e. Phosphorus is the element of thought, emotion and intelli- 
gence. The Phosphorus element is the student man. Uhen we 
think we consume Phosphorus. The more we think the more 
Phosphorus we consume, and the more work we throw upon the 
liver. 

f . After an orator has captivated his audience by his display 
of metaphor; after a philosopher has used his brain in rea- 
soning, writing, thinking and teaching, and investigation; 
after a musician has fascinated his audience with sentimen- 
tal music; after any intellectual effort, any emotion, sen- 
timent, passion, appetite, or all brain action, there are 
greater quantities of Phosphorus in the urine. This indi- 
cates that Phosphorus consumption in the brain has been 
greater during processes of cerebration. Phosphorus is a 
bone and brain worker. It helps to build bone, to repair 
bone, to nourish brain, to feed nerves. 

g. It stimulates bone production. When there is a lack of 
Phosphorus in the bones, bone tissue becomes soft and gela- 
tinous, instead of hard, dense, compact and elastic. Phos- 
phorus increases the number of the red blood corpuscles. 
This does not mean that the red corpuscles are made of Phos- 
phorus. It simply means that Phosphorus has an indirect 
affect upon the manufacture of the red corpuscles of the 
blood. Phosphorus improves nutrition of tissues at large. 
If there is a lack of Phosphorus in the body, the metabolism 
suffers and health cannot be maintained very long r 

h.. When bone tissues become soft, and there is a tendency to 
ricketts; it is an indication that Phosphorus and phosphoric 
acid are needed in the body, as well as Calcium and other 
metal salts. Phosphorus performs an important function in 
the mucous surfaces by its tonic action upon the same. 



1X4 

i. Without Phosphorus the brain decays and intelligence leaves. 
Lack of Phosphorus leads to sterility, brain softening, neu- 
ralgia, pus format ion* The intelligence soon leaves, and 
the patient slips into a state of unconsciousness. Nor can 
Phosphorus be withheld from the diet for a long time and sub- 
sequently be supplied without serious consequences. 

j. A child going to school is using up the Phosphorus in the 
brain very strongly. If the Phosphorus is not supplied in 
sufficient amount, that child will soon suffer from weakness, 
brain decay or brain softening. The mathematical lessons 
will never do that child any good, unless dead people can use 
mathematics in the grave to advantage. 

k. Ammonio-magnesium phosphate appears in the urine when a patient 
suffers from dyspepsia, alkaline fermentation, cystitis. So 
sure as the Phosphorus supply is too low in the child, or if 
the system cannot assimilate Phosphorus, that sure maladies of 
some kind will appear. 

1. Leucin and Tyrosin always appear in the urine when a patient 
suffers from Phosphorus poisoning, or from yellow atrophy of 
the liver, or from great degenerative tissue heat in the liver. 

m. Lecithin is egg yolk pure and simple, translated into Greek 
for scientific effect. Lecithin is a complex fatty compound 
widely distributed throughout the body in human beings and some 
animals. It is found mainly in bile, milk, semen, yolk of 
eggs, nerve tissue, red corpuscles, white corpuscles, serous 
fluids, lymph, blood, and in pus. It is regarded as a decom- 
position product coming mainly from nerve tissues, removed 
from the blood by the liver, thus becoming one of the consti- 
tuents of the bile in which it is held in solution by the bile 
salts. 

n. Lecithin is composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen, but con- 
tains also Oxygen, Fluorin, Iron, Sulphur, Calcium, Phosphorus, 
and a certain nerve fat called neurol, or glyco-phosphoric acid, 
and also an alkaloid called Cholin. From a diet lacking in 
the vitamines, neurol, Phosphorus, Oxygen, Sulphur and certain 
needed nerve salts, the lecithin cannot be manufactured. 

o. Lack of the lecithin in the body tissues results in impotence, 
neuratrophia, brain decay, imbecility, pus formation and gener^ 
al physical degeneration. If Phosphorus is insufficient in 
body tissues the lecithin cannot be formed. If Phosphorus be 
withheld from the diet, the lecithins are not manufactured for 
brain and nerve. This results in neurasthenia, or brain de- 
cay, phthisis* 

p. A vital principle called - vitellus, is found in egg yolk, be- 
ing the creative principle in the egg yolk. Vitellus is a 
nucleo-protein and contains considerable proportions of Phos- 
phorus in its composition. 

q. If the Phosphorus part of the egg yolk be lacking, or if the 
Phosphorus part in the vitellus is lacking , either in the ^gg 
yolk or in the creative principle of man, not a chick could be

3, FUNCTIONS OF PHOSPHORUS IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION : (Continued) 
hatched nor a baby be born. Phosphorus has a great deal to 
do with generative life and growth. Phosphorus stimulates 
life to unfoldraent in and through formative life processes. 

r. The chemic composition of the white corpuscles has been in- 
ferred from an analysis of pus corpuscles with which they 
are remarkably identical, and also of lymph corpuscles from 
lymph glands. Of the white corpuscles about ninety percent 
is water and the remainder is solid matter, consisting main- 
ly of proteins, of which nucleo-albumen and cell globulins 
are abundant, the two being characterized by the presence of 
a considerable quantity of Phosphorus, amounting to as much 
as ten percent. 

s. Lecithin, fat, glycocin, also earthy and alkaline phosphates, 
are, moreover, present in the white corpuscles of the blood. 
Phosphorus is here in demand as elsewhere, and if not sup- 
plied results in lowered metabolism and feeble health. 

t. Phosphorus is an agent of life and growth* It is an ele- 
ment of luminosity. This luminosity has its effect upon 
'the vital functions, although this fact is not known to all 
investigators. In plants this phosphorescence favors solar 
transmission and plant growth. In fish it produces great- 
er electrical generation, in animals it increases the gener- 
ation of animal heat, life action in the tissues, and the 
generation of muscular electricity. In man this same Phos- 
phorus luminosity favors the same processes and also the 
higher cerebral functions ♦ When it acts mainly in the mus- 
cles of man, he becomes more electrical. 



u. In some types of people this phosphorescent quality acts 
principally in the brain and nerves and less in the tissues, 
and they become more magnetic. This gives them greater 
power to cure patients of certain psychical disorders or 
habits. So long as a man is alive, if his fingers be held 
up against strong light, they appear luminous, but when life 
has fled the finger bones appear dark, 

v. Phosphorus evidently helps to keep body and soul together in 
man, life and body together in animals, life force and mat- 
ter together in plants. Phosphorescence is the astral body 
of Theosophy. It is the aura of spiritualists. 

w. Phosphorus has much to do with wireless air messages, tele- 
pathy, tenekishis, dreams, mental activity, digestive thera- 
peutics, mediuraship, psycho-genesis, physical sense percep- 
tion, sensory impulsion, psychometry, the ability to trans- 
mit and receive inventive ideas, obsession, delusion, and 
many seemingly strange psychic phenomena. 

x. If Phosphorus is low, life would be operating under low pres- 
sure. Life could not organize nor take form and substance 



lie 

for material growth and feeling. Phosphorus is one of the 
essential elements of organo-genesis. 

y. High organic life is impossible without Phosphorus and Sulphur 
in normal quantities. 

z. Phosphorus is broken down by every thought and emotion. Some 
mental (Phosphorus) people are freakish; many of them have bad 
habits, are not normal, neither are they practical. 

aa. Phosphorus acts on Spirituality and Sublimity, A person dies 
or goes insane if temperature of brain reaches 111 degrees, be- 
cause Phosphorus melts and becomes wax-like at that tempera- 
ture. Sunstroke is the result of overheating of the brain, 
causing it to start to melt; hence, Mental Temperament people 
should avoid heat, especially a hot sun. 

ab. Phosphorus vitalizes, electrifies and magnetizes the soul and 
mind. The soul and body are kept together by Phosphorus. 

ac. Phosphorus is electricity at work in the muscles and in the 
outside world. 

ad. Phosphorus works on brain and nerves, and with the subjective 

mind. 



4. CONSTITUTIONS IN WHICH PHO SPHORUS IS INHERENTLY: 

a. Excessive: Neurogenic, 

b. Deficient: Carboferic, especially in a physical sense; Atro- 

phic, because Phosphorus is used in excess in the 
brain, therefore, it is deficient in a great many 
.".'.. functions. Phosphorus is deficient in idiots, and 

in all feeble-minded children. 

5 - SYMPTOMS WHEN PHOSPHORUS IS-' EXCESSIVE: 
- a. It is excessive in Neurogenic people, hence, they always crave 
.excitement, . They are extravagant and spend money foolishly. 
-They lack judgment in economics and practical directions, . and 
live their entire lives in the emotions. 

b. They argue that thoughts are. things. They take a greater in- 
terest in mental suggestion, in mental healing. . . Suggestion 
has a remarkable effect upon their physique, ailments, symp- 
toms and habits. They say, "Talk health and health is yours", 
"Talk success and it comes to you tt , "Think of disease and it 
overtakes you". They are interested in speculative philoso-* 

• phy, " Their imaginations are lively. They are enthusiastic 
idealists. They have faith in the future, in the Almighty, 
in mental suggestion, but have no faith in work, effort, diet, 
etc. 

c. They are sort of idealistic maniacs and enthusiasts. They 
have more ambition and optimism than strength and power. 
They become somnambulists, or sleep walkers. Their brains 
work Latin, Greek and mathematics when their eyes are asleep.

as. Mental people are liable to become scrofulous on account of 
inability to take up Oxygen; 

at. Phosphorus people strive to go up into the air, while Osseous 
and Vital people remain low down, even in basements; 

au. A HEALTHY" NEUROGENIC PERSON DOES NOT HAVE SUCH SYMPTOMS, AND 
CHARACTERISTICS, EXCEPT IN A MODIFIED FORM, BUT DELICACY AL- 
WAYS CHARACTERIZES THE NEUROGENIC PERSON ^ 

6. HOW TO REDUCE PHOSPHORUS IK THE BODY: 

a. Foods: Omit foods rich in Phosphorus. 

b. Climate: Live in a warm, moist climate and low alti- 

tude. 

c. Mental Exercise: Stop cultivating the idealistic emotions, 
d_ Physical Exercise: Participate in physical and pleasing exer- 
cises, i. e», use the body, but not the 
brain, nor the nerves of feeling.

7. HOW TO INCREASE PHOSPHORUS IN THE BODY: 



a. Foods: 

b. Climate: 



c. Mental Exercise: 



Eat foods rich. in Phosphorus. 
Live in the hills where the climate is 
cool and refreshing, and where there is 
plenty of ozone in the atmosphere. 
Cultivate the idealistic emotions, nor- 
mally, but not excessively. 
d». Physical Exercise: Will not increase Phosphorus consumption 

in the body, unless the exercises are 
slow and prolonged so that they reach the 
bones. 

8 - PEOPLE WHO. REQUI RE PHOS PHORUS FO ODS : 

a. In abundance: Idiots, feeble— minded people, Atrophic people, 

people who suffer from sterility or impotence, 
people who are low in vitality, people who are 
using their emotions or their brains excessive- 
ly, students, lawyers, ministers of the gospel, 
musicians, orators; in fact, intellectual and 
idealistic people, because they use their 
brains and burn down the Phosphorus in the 
brain, and, thus rob the blood and the body of 
the Phosphorus which is needed in body tissue, 

b. Very little : All people are in need of Phosphorus, even 

Neurogenic people who suffer from excessive 
Phosphorus consumption. In them the Phos- 
phorus is burned up in the brain and nerves 
rather than in the tissues. This robs the 
tissues of the body and weakens them. 

9 ♦ INFLU E NCE OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF PHOSPHOR US FOO D S ON : 

a. Health: The inf luenceTs favorable until it is exces- 

sive, when it results in disease. 

b. Disposition: The disposition becomes morbid, the nerves de- 

pressed, and the mind impractical. 

10. INFLUENCE OF A DEFICIENT AMOUNT OF PHOSPHORUS FOODS ON: 



a. Health: 



b. Disposition: 



It results in Atrophic states of brain, nerves 
and body, perhaps even in pus formation, tu- 
berculosis, or some pus disease. 
The mind is too intellectual, bright and genius- 
like; the nerves are excessively impressive; 
the disposition is nervous, or pathopathic. 



1 1 , DISEASE, TENDENCIES OF PEOPLE IN WHOM PH0SPH0RUS_IS_lN_E2^ESSl 
a. Neuric, vital and spasmodic: This may result in fatty de- 
generation of the liver, fatty degeneration in the tissues, 
in the muscles, heart, kidneys, intestines, glands of the 
stomach; or in progressive emaciation, degenerative changes 
in connective tissue, disturbed metabolism, great tendency 
to paralysis, sleep walking, neurasthenia, bronchitis, ner- 
vous diseases, hemorrhages, albuminuria, jaundice, exhaus- 
tion, neuralgia, heart disease, the formation of subject!— 
vistic habits, hypererethism in the sexual glands, paracholia, 



122 



12 . CHEMICALS IN FOODS THAT PEOPLE. WITH E XCES S PHOSPHORUS SHOULD: 
a* Eat:*" Poods that are rich in Magnesium, """Calcium, Fluorin 3 

Silicon, Potash, or in the earthy salts. 
b. Avoid: They should avoid starches, fats, sweets, meat. 



13. VOCATIONS FOR WHICH PHOSPHORUS PEOPLE ARE BEST ADAPTED:

scientific and delicate instruments, 

Laboratory work. 



14. HELPFUL HINTS : 

a. The Neurogenic man needs a diet that is rich in lecithin, in 
nerve fat, Calcium, Vitamines. 

b» He needs a cool climate, a high altitude, and ozonic air. 

c. He needs sleep and rest. 

d. He needs pleasurable recreation. 

e. He needs a Magnesium diet to break down Phosphorus products. 

f . He needs association of Calciferic people, whether he likes 
them or not, and he should not accuse them of "Materialism 8 , 
as he always does. 



15 < WHEN A PHO SPHORUS DIET IS NEEDED: 

1. In cases of neuralgia; 

2. In softening of the brain; 

3. In imbecility; 

4. In impotence; 

5. When the face is bloodless and pallid; 

6. When there is a dislike for exertion and work; 

7. When a patient makes an effort only under excitement and

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED : (Continued) 



Infants' Food may contain 89$ of the cheapest kind of sugar; many 
times as much sugar as Mother's Milk. Infants 1 Food may result 
in bloating, gas, hip disease, trouble with bones and teeth. 

Human IS. Ik contains 2.36$ Protein, and much Potassium. 

Goat's I.:ilk contains 2.78$ Protein, a little more than IJother's 
Milk, and all the blood salts; Potassium Chloride, Calcium Fhos~ 
phate, and Sodium Chloride, 

REMARKS : All Foods high in Nitrogen build muscle. The Myogenic, 
the Calciferic, Desmogenic, and Nitropheric, arc Protein types. 
These types are able to hold Nitrogen in the system. Nitrogen 
takes up starch, principally. 

The person who lives on a high protein diet is likely to suffer 
from Kidne}?- disease, because he cats too much Protein. 

Too much sugar, too much Protein, too much fat, cause fermentation 
end auto-intoxication in the stomach. The brain worker does not 
need much Protein food. He should have brain fcod, alkaline 
salts, especially Magnesium, also the Vitamines. 

Those parts of an animal which are being exercised, contain more , 
Protein and more of the salts. Therefore, tough meat is more val- 
uable than tender meat. The meat that has not been exercised is 
not valuable. The tough meats are most valuable and the cheapest. 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS : 

1. What is the cause and cure of anemia? A. — This depends upon 
the cause of anemia. If lack of Iron is the cause, then an Iron 
diet is needed; if a nervous condition is the cause, sleep, rest, 
and a Phosphorus diet is needed. If the liver, or spleen, or 
duodenum is the cause, we must attend to one of those organs, so 
that the Iron may be taken up by the red corpuscles of the blood, 
If the cause is in the marrow, we must do something to counteract 
anemia from this viewpoint; and if dropsy is the cause, a Chlorin 
diet is needed, 

2. Why does a tubercular patient have a fever every two weeks? 

A, — A tubercular patient has a fever usually once in every twenty- 
four hours. He has a fever from twelve o'clock at noon to about 
twelve o'clock midnight. The reason of this rise in temperature 
is Carbonic Oxide in the system, and also In the atmosphere. 
This Carbonic Oxide at night is the cause of night sweat; sometimes 
Potassium hunger may be a cause of perspiration also. 

3. What is the difference beti?een Love and Idealism? A. — Love 
is Idealism of a certain kind. Idealism may be romantic, imagina- 
tive, cosmic, religious, altruistic. The lover is always full of 
Idealism; poetry and romance. 






F-4 

4. Can a tubercular patient be cured in this climate? A. — Not 
very well, if the patient has suffered from consumption longer than 
three months. 

5. Why do the muscles in the legs twitch and jump during sleep. 
A. — Because the cerebellum is not fully asleep; also because there 
may be acidity in the system around the motor nerves, or around the 
muscles. 

6- Which is the nearest approach to the normal type of people? 

A. — The Myogenic is the nearest appro?uch to the perfect type. The 

isogenic is another approach to a perfect type of another kind. 

7. Can a. constitution be changed by dieting? A. — No, A con- 
stitution is chemical, or hereditary. If we were to change a con- 
stitution we would have a work for perhaps twenty or thirty years, 
or longer. 

8. Do all foods high in Nitrogen, build muscle? A. - No. If 
a certain Nitrogen-containing food be too high in Nitrogen, a cer- 
tain type, as, for instance, the Neurogenic, or the Pathetic, or 
the Carboferic, may not be able to utilize the Nitrogen in the food 
at all. A Nitropheric man or lady cannot digest a high propor- 
tion of Nitrogen. Nitropheric people, or Neurogenic, or people of 
a delicate constitution, should eat foods that are low in Nitrogen, 
in order to gain in strength. If they eat high Nitrogen foods 
they lose in strength, because they will suffer from Protein poison- 
ing, and auto-intoxication. Foods that contain perhaps only two 
percent of Nitrogen, are more nourishing to them. We must know 
the difference between type and type, and between Nitrogen 

food and Nitrogen food. The Nitropheric constitution is a. staicn 
constitution, with free Nitrogen at work in the system. The Neu- 
rogenic constitution is a brain and nerve constitution, with very 
low power of Nitrogen metabolism. 

9. How can you determine whether a patient has a lack or excess of 
Nitrogen in the system? A. - If a patient lacks the Nitrogen 
element he has Nitrogen-hunger symptoms; and if a patient has an ex- 
cess of Nitrogen, he has Nitrogen-excess symptoms. We know the pa- 
tient by his symptoms, and we know each element by its symptoms. 

10. "(That is meant by brain metabolism? A. - That process by means 
of which the brain is nourished is often referred to as the process 
of brain metabolism. 

11. Why do you say that Desmogenic people fail in matrimony? A, - 
If Desmogenic people are not properly mated there will be trouble 

to a greater extent than there would be in most constitutions, ex- 
cept, perhaps, the Nervi -Motive, and the Medeic. The Desmogenic 
man or woman must be properly mated, for he is a man, or she is a 
lady, of great intensity, and if everything is not right, he is like- 
ly to speak for himself, or herself, whether it be in love or war. 

12. Can one be both intelligent and sentimental? A. - Yes. 
There is a difference between intellectuality and sentiment. As a 
general rule, those who are highly sentimental are never scientific.

LECTURE NOTES. COU RSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . SUBJECT-SODI UM. 

No previous lesson has been as important as this one lesson on So- 
dium. It is a lesson for people who suffer from acidity of the 
stomach, gas generation and gout. Such patients should eat Sodium 
foods in abundance. 

The ordinary common table salt is a combination of Sodium and 
Chlorin, in almost equal proportion. Salt is inorganic Sodium and 
Chlorin* For that reason, it is not so valuable as that Sodium 
is which we find in organized foods. Sodium which we buy in drug 
stores is not so valuable as that which we find in organic foods. 
The human being is organic, or organized. Sodium which we get 
from plants and vegetables is organized Sodium. Sodium in ordi- 
nary table salt, or salt manufactured, is inorganic. 

When we take out from foods, some certain salt, we are likely to 
alter the chemicals in those foods. When extracted from food, 
that certain chemical salt extracted, may even become a poison. 
Potash by itself is a poison, whether it comes from food, or from 
the drug store. This is also the case with Phosphorus. Manufac- 
turers who extract certain food salts, that manufacture all sorts 
of salts, are manufacturing inorganic salts, and if taken into 
your system, you thereby overtax your system, and your functions 
must work that much harder, in order to throw off those inorganic 
salts or poisons introduced, either through drugs, or through so- 
called tissue remedies, or otherwise. 

When we are sick we should eat such foods that contain the salts 
needed. We obtain Sodium salt from spinach, strawberries, and 
carrots. If we put sugar and cream on the berries, we are not 
wise, for the Sodium that the berries contain, will be overcome by 
the sugar, cream, or whatever else we may put into the food. We 
should eat the food the way the Almighty is manufacturing it for 
us. The Sodium which we need is often used up by the cream, or by 
the sugar, as the case may be. It mixes with the cream in the 
stomach, and the power of the Sodium salt is almost lost. We 
should eat strawberries without cream and without sugar. If we 
would do this, the Sodium salts, which the Almighty has put into 
the food, would, do us more good. If we go to the drug store for 
Sodium, we get drug store Sodium instead of the right kind of So- 
dium, as it is manufactured by the Almighty. Jf you extract the 
Sodium salts from the food, and take those salts by themselves, you 
will have trouble. You should eat the foods as they are; and when 
you are in need of much Sodium, you should eat those foods that are 
very rich in Sodium salts. When you cook Spinach and you pour the 
juice into the sink, you get spinach minus the salt. The salts 
that you need you pour into the sink. A great deal of sugar and 
cream on strawberries may tempt your appetite. The Almighty did 
not intend you to eat that way. He did not make sugar. The 
sugar that you are using on the table you have manufactured your- 
self, the Almighty had nothing to do with it. When He made wheat, 
He did not intend you to eat it in the form of white flour and 
doughnuts. If He intended you to eat doughnuts and coffee, He 
would have made doughnuts and coffee for you, and would have had 
them in the Garden of Eden already. The Salvation Army people 
thought they were doing a great deal of good in the war, by putting 






F-6 

up their kitchens and selling doughnuts to the boys. But the Salva- 
tion Array people never were told by the Almighty to give the soldiers 
coffee and doughnuts. It is not a good food, and yet the Salvation 
Army was out begging money from all of us, in order to carry out a. 
food scheme like that. 

The Sodium we get from plants is organic Sodium, French Vichy Water 
is organic. Sodium is a Latin word. Natrium is the Greek word for 
the same thing. Sodium is called Natrium in Greek, 

Chemicals that are alkaline are most valuable for the sick man. 
Every food that is acid, or makes the system more acid, is bad for 
the sick man. Every food that generates gas in the. alimentary tract 
is bad for the sick man. Coffee may have a good taste, and is as 
inviting as the v/ine in the glass, but it makes the stomach acid. 
Tea generates acid and gas, and yet there are many people who drink 
twelve cups of tea a day. Then they wonder why they suffer from 
nervousness and gas in the stomach. Some of them drink so much tea 
that they become hysterical. There is no nutrition in tea. Uhy 
should you drink it, or why should you drink coffee? Or, why 
should you drink Postum, or Chocolate? 

Sodium combines with Chlorin. Chlorin is an important element. 
Chlorin is the laundryman of the body. It carries impurities out 
of the body. It is associated with Sodium to make the cells clean 
and pure. It kills germs that are alwaj^s associated with foods that 
are rich in Sodium. Sodium makes the cells alkaline. If you take 
Sodium and Chi or in-containing foods, or drinks, in abundance, your 
cells are purified, then you get very thirsty, and you want puie water 
in abundance, then you should drink distilled water and fruit juices. 

There is a strong affinity between Sodium, Chlorin, and Oxygen. 
Foods that are rich in Sodium are often rich in Chlorin and Oxygen 
also. Oxygen foods are often rich in Chlorin, also in Sodium, in 
Potassium, or in Potassium Oxide. Sodium neutralizes acid. It is 
used in soap manufacture. Sodium and Chlorin in soap take off the 
dirt. The same kind of soap manufacture is going on in the body, 
and the same kind of cell-cleansing processes. Saponification is a 
physiological function. If you take Sodium and Potassium out of the 
body, saponification stops. If you then eat fat of any kind your 
stomach becomes acid. Sodium and Potassium are the two elements 
necessary for soap-making. If those two elements are low, you can- 
not take care of the fat. Hence, also, you grow lean; and the more 
fatty food you eat, the more lean you grow. If you are lean you 
grow leaner, on a starchy and fatty diet; and if you are fleshy you 
grow fleshier. You fill up with water and fatty substances; you be- 
come food drunk, and you cannot get all of those fermented substances 
out of your body. 

Do you think that you can starve all such fatty substances out of 
yourself? No, no. If you suffer from obesity, from fat, that fat 
stays in your body, even if you starve yourself to death. Even af- 
ter you are dead, you have those same fatty linings in the stomach; 
and if you are a lean man and you eat fatty foods at such a time, you 
cannot take care of the fat. Supply yourself, at such a time, with 
Sodium and Potassium food in abundance, for a long, long time, and 
you will find that lastly your system will take care of fatty foods. 
And at such a time, do not forget the necessity of fresh air. If 
you do this, you can put on flesh; you can convert oil and fat into

good tissue,. As a general thing, people at large do not under- 
stand the human machine, nor the foods that go into the human ma- 
chine. Even doctors are not acquainted with the human body, nor 
with the chemistry of the body, nor with the chemistry of foods, 
we are sorry to say. They do not teach this in medical colleges. 

Sodium neutralizes acid. Gout is caused by nothing but acid. 
Neuritis is caused by acid. Celery juice will cure Neuritis, when 
that Neuritis is caused by acid around the nerves. It is the acid 
that makes the nerves ache. The nerves would never ache if there 
were no acid in the system, around the nerves. When you neutra- 
lize the acid around the nerves, the nerve pain stops. 

If you eat Sodium foods, do not drink a great deal of water after- 
wards, for, if you do, you wash the Sodium out of your system. 
Hot water will convert Sodium into Sodium Carbonate. If you drink 
cold water after eating Sodium foods, it will have a decomposing 
effect upon the stomach. The man who tries this diet should not 
introduce water into his s^rstem, i.e., a Sodium diet. Eat Sodium 
foods, so that Sodium mo.y act upon other foods, and so that it may 
neutralize the secretions, and make the secretions alkaline, as 
well as the tissues, Then you are acid, eat nothing but celery 
one whole day, and ea.t nothing but oranges and good rye bread the 
next day, then eat celery the third day, and then chew something, 
as, for instance, raw bran and swallow the saliva and spit out the 
bran, and keep this up until you make your stomach more alkaline; 
and then see how you feel. By making the stomach more alkaline, 
you can overcome indigestion. The reason that the eating of bran 
cures indigestion, is because it constantly increases the saliva in 
the salivary glands, which glands secrete the most alkaline secre- 
tions in the body. If you manufacture great quantities of these 
salivary secretions and swallow them, it will neutralize tiie acid 
in the stomach, and thus overcome indigestion. Indigestion is al- 
ways caused by acidity in the stomach, or, at least, perhaps, nine- 
ty cases out of every hundred. The eating of bran is no good for 
any other purpose, except for the purpose of making the saliva 
flow more readily. You could chew almost anything, just so you 
get the saliva to flow freely. But do not chew gum, as you ab- 
stract the gum compounds and swallow the same, and gum compounds 
arc not good for the stomach. 

Water decomposes in the stomach. Water-drinking leads to diabetes 
in the course of time, or dropsy, or acidity. Decomposed water is 
subject to the formation of acidit3r and fermentation. The tissues 
are full of decomposed water. You cannot cure diabetes, nor 
dropsy, by drawing out the water from the system. When the tis- 
sues lack Sodium, Potash, and Chlorin, the water in the tissues de- 
composes. This decomposed water, going to the kidneys, decomposes 
the kidneys also. If you suffer from dropsy, go to the hills and 
fall back upon foods that are rich in Sodium, Chlorin, and Potash, 
especially Chlorin. 

The lower types of peoule have more Sodium in their system. They 
are seldom sick. The" more highly organized man or woman, does not 
have enough of Sodium, and yet, he, or she, needs more Sodium than 



F-8 

one of a lower type. Highly organized people have too much Phos- 
phorus in the system. They are always burning up the Phosphorus 
in the brain, and thus throw too much work upon the liver, and 
other elirainative organs. At last, when the liver cannot function 
sufficiently, or efficiently, the tissues become acid; the entire 
alimentary tract also becomes acid. Highly intellectual people 
suffer mostly from acidity. The pig never suffers from acidity. 
A man of a low type never suffers from aridity in the alimentary 
tract. 

Y/e have been told that gout is caused by high living, but we find 
gout among the lower types of laborers also, who live on the cheap- 
est kind of food. \7e find gout among highly organized people. 
The Osseous, or bony, and Desmogenic people are the most intellec- 
tual, and they are the ones who suffer from gout. 

The more Sodium the tissues take up, the more alkaline and stronger 
they become. Desmogenic people are the strongest people we have; 
they are strong because they have a great deal of Sodium in their 
tissues, tendons, ligaments, joints. Almost/all of the Sodium food 
eaten by Desmogenic people goes into the tissues, so that the spleen, 
the alimentary tract, and the secretions, /as well as the blood, are 
all robbed of Sodium. Thus they suffer from Sodium starvation; al- 
though their tissues are full of Sodium. Desmogenic ladies are al- 
so powerful, in the majority of cases, unless they are sick from the 
lack of Sodium and other important salts. 

The Synovial membrane secretes Sodium. If there is, a lack of Sodium 
in the joints, the joints crack. Creaking joints show that there is 
too much Calcium, and that there is a lack of Sodium in the joints. 
There is a low supply of Sodium. Creaking or cracking in the joints 
is a Calcium-excess symptom. 

You can digest Albumin well, if you have plenty of Sodium, and 
Chlorin. V/hen you eat the white of an egg, and you put plenty of 
salt on it, you can digest it better. Any kind of Albumin is 
poison to sensitive nerves. Nervous people should never eat the 
white of an egg, nor other foods that are rich in Albumin. Tired 
nerves cannot handle Albumin. A man who is pulling heavy loads, 
like a mule, should eat albumin, or the white of an egg, but he should 
always put plenty of salt on it. 

If you eat too much Calcium, in the form of food, and there is not 
enough Sodium in the system, you are likely to suffer from rheuma- 
tism and stiffness everywhere. 

If you bleed easily, there is not enough of Fibrin in the system. 
It means that you are not able to handle Fibrin, nor manufacture 
Fibrin, because there is a lack of some salts. 

A man who suffers from Albuminuria, lacks Chlorin and Sodium. Breath- 
ing is difficult without Sodium. There is more Sodium salt in the 
ear and in the big toe than elsewhere, and there is also more Cal- 
cium in the oar, and in the big toej because of the great quantity 
of Calcium, those parts usually are subject to Calcium deposits. 
Hence, also, gout starts in the big toe, and sometimes also in the 
ear. An excess of Calcium in the system results in boils of a

special kind. If you suffer from gout, fall back upon a. correct 
diet. Drink distilled water in abundance, and fall back upon a 
low Calcium diet. 

Lack of Sodium salt results in catarrh. If you suffer from catarrh 
you need foods that are rich in Sodium, such as, celery, spinach, 
lettuce, etc. Doctors usually say that the o,ppendix is of no use, 
indicating that the Almighty did not understand His business when 
He made the appendix. Doctors cut out the Appendix. And yet, 
the appendix is a germ killer. It secretes a certain secretion 
that contains germicidal properties; this secretion kills a great 
many germs that happen to bo in the colon. This is the function 
of the appendix, and that is a very important function. The appen- 
dix cannot secrete this secretion if it is cut out. Then, bacter- 
ial gases and toxins, fill the colon and the entire alimentary tract. 

The Thyroid gland keeps poison from passing up into the brain. V/hcn 
the Thyroid gland cannot do its work auto-toxins pass up into the 
brain. This has a bad effect upon the brain function. V/hen the 
Almighty made the appendix, the Thyroid gland, and a great many 
other glands, Ho knew His business, whether doctors know this or . 
not. 

The saliva is rich in Sodium. That secretion should pass into the 
food every time wc eat. 'Jhcn the saliva does not pass into the 
food, some parts of the food are not so well digested. Hot appli- 
cations, applied to the stomach, create action in the stomach and 
the bowels, so that the excreta may pass out of the bowels, and so 
that bowel gases may be dissipated. 

Hydrochloric acid docs not burn in the upper stomach. Such acid 
would be at the bottom of the stomach. The burning in the upper 
part of the stomach, which people suffer from who suffer from in- 
digestion, is not caused by Hydrochloric acid r A man who suffers 
from indigestion and burning in the stomach, usually always lacks 
Hydrochloric acid. Lack of> Sodium is another cause of constipa- 
tion, and also other salts. If there is a lack of Sodium in the 
system, the brain cannot perform its function so efficiently. 

If you injure the feelings, or the purse, or the interests, of a 
Dcsmogenic man, he will always remember it. You may be good to 
him ninety-nine times, but if you arc bad to him, or mean t© him, 
only once, he will remember that one bad deed forever. The Dcsmo- 
genic man is often a stormy men. He has his ugly spells, He 
wants to quarrel and fight, in between. 

Gout is a disease that proves conclusively that there is not enough 
of Sodium to keep Calcium in solution. 

A Sodium patient feels well one day, and the next day he is sick. 
He feels, that all of the time something wrong is going to happen. 
He is slcQ-py during the day, and at night his brain is vc^ active. 
His brain is very active after twelve o'clock at night. Then he 
plans and feels as though he can accomplish great things, but during 



F-10 

the day he is always sleepy, always tired, always drowsy. 

Lack of Sodium, results in palpitation, gas in the stomach, liver 
trouble, slow digestion, lack of the gastric juice, and lack of the 
saliva, A Sodium-hunger patient is hard to please. A wife cannot 
get very much love out of a husband when that husband suffers from 
Sodium starvation. If your husband is ugly, because of lack of So- 
dium, give him plenty of celery at every meal. 

So sure as the Sodium supply runs low, so sure jrou will suffer from 
weak eyesight. It is better to oat celery for weak e3*-esight, than 
to go to an oculist. When the Sodium supply is low the memory is 
poor. 

In ninety-nine people out of one hundred, there is a lack of Sodium, 
rather than an excess. 

A heavjc Potash diet, requires from forty to sixty times more of So- 
dium. If you live on an exclusive vegetable diet, or on greens 
that are full of Potash, more Sodium is needed than you can supply. 
Hhen Potash passes out of the system, it precipitates from fifty- 
two to sixty-five ounces of Sodium to every ounce of Potassium. If 
you have an excess of Potassium salts, you can overcome the effects 
of excess of Potassium salts by introducing foods that are rich in 
Chlorin, All people should increase the Sodium supply in the body, 
by eating foods that are rich in Sodium. 



o 



A hot climate uses up Sodium salts in the body; and a very cold cli- 
mate also uses up Sodium salts. A love state enables a man to take 
up more Sodium salts. Under favorable emotions, Sodium is more ra- 
pidly assimilated, or utilized. But under unfavorable emotions, or 
passions, the Sodium salts are precipitated, and appear in the urine. 
A loving state of mind is favorable to health. Temper, excitement, 
jealousy, and ugly melancholy passions, always have an unfavorable 
effect upon the. chemistry of body, or upon health. 

The sick man requires Sodium salts, or a Sodium diet. People be- 
tween the ages of seven and twenty-one, do not require very much So- 
dium, for at that time the body is usually alkaline. When Sodium 
runs low it means malnutrition, and this malnutrition even termi- 
nates in tuberculosis. 

Sodium excess is usually excess #f Sodium in the tissues, not in the 
secretions. There is never an excess of Sodium in the blood and se- 
cretions; but there may be an excess of Sodium in the tissues, in 
the joints, as, for instance, in the Desmogenic man. Let a chemist 
analyze a Desmogenic man and give us a report of the analysis. 

The gossiper is usually lean, broad-headed, sharp-nosed, and has 
drawn lips. Such a lady knows what is taking place in the neigh- 
borhood. She thinks every man is a rascal, and that every woman 
is a flirt. The gossiper is the "Devil's Neighborhood Directory".-

stroke, or heat-stroke. '. ...

studies, all persist, 

\7Tien you require newer and newer spectacles, you are in the great- 
est need of Sodium-containing food, such as celery, strawberri.es, 
raspberries, and others. 

The Desraogenic man is a real Sodium man. He has Sodium in his 
tissues, but not enough in the blood, nor in the secretions, nor 
in other fluids. 

If a Desmogenic man gets interested in some special thing, it is 
difficult to get him to stop. If he is interested in a certain 
science, he never stops until he shall have mastered that science 
in every detail. Try to stop him, and you increase his interest 
and his determination to go on. If he falls in love, he cannot 
stop. He must go on. Try to force him, however, and he will 
soon stop. \7e can never force a Desmogenic man, nor a Desmogenic 
woman. 

When a man suffers from "Flu", you should analyze his urine, \7hen 
he suffers from pneumonia, 3^ou should also examine his urine. If 
you do, you will find that the blood salts are precipitated from 
the body; in times of "Flu", and in times of pneumonia you should 
supply the blood salts, and forget almost everything else. Supply 
Sodium salt, or supply blood salt, and you will cure B Flu", unless 
the disease shall have progressed to such an extent that the M Flu :i 
germ shall have taken full possession of the body, in which caf^e 
the man will die. When all of the chemical food salts are sup- 
plied in the body, there can be no symptoms, no ailments, no pecu- 
liarities to bother you and others. You are simply healthy. In- 
digestion is caused by a lack of Hydrochloric acid, or it may also 
be caused by inflation of the stomach, inflated by gas. Foods con- 
taining sugar, starch or fat, are converted into gas when the 
stomach is acid. Gas in the bowels produces sleeplessness. Y/hcn 
you cannot sleep at night, it is because of gas generation in the 
bowels, or because of acid formation. Do you think that it is 
wise to go to a doctor and have him give you opium, or morphine, 
at a time when j^ou cannot sleep, when this sleeplessness is caused 
by gas, or aciditjr? One-sided headache comes from the bowels. 

A certain eruption on your chest, or on your back, or on your arms, 
or neck, is caused by la.ck of Sodium in your body. The best way 
to improve ^rour complexion, is not bjr going to a beauty specialist 
but, by eating plenty of celery, when the skin is murky from lack 
of Sodium. 

V/hen there is a lack of Sodium in the system, there is anxiety 
around the heart. A person must stop to rest while walking, be- 
cause his heart bothers him. 'Then the tissues feel bruised, or 
seem bruised, without any seeming reason, there is a lack of Sodi- 
um. V/hen the urine sinks in specific gravity, there is a lack of 
Sodium. Urine is nothing but tissue water passing away from the 
system. You can tell by the urine, what is going on in your 
tissues. 



F~12 

If you increc.se the Sodium supply in your system, you increase sali- 
va; and if you increase saliva you increase the flow of the gastric 
juice; and by increasing the flow of the gastric juice you increase 
digestion, Uhen there is a lack of Sodium and you go to a doctor, 
he is likely to think that there is, perhaps, a tumor in your stomach, 
or that you suffer from cancer, or that you have an ulcer. In fact, 
he is very likely to think anything. And if he doctors 3?"ou, he can- 
not cure your disease. Sodium, Chlorin, Magnesium, and Potash, are 
the food chemicals that enable your stomach to carry on its funct- 
ions. When these elements are lacking, you suffer from constipation 
and auto-intoxication, gastritis, and many other ailments. A burn- 
ing pain in the upper part of your stomach, is an indication that 
there is a lack of Sodium. 

A minister of the Gospel ought to be a dietician. It is not easy 
to pray when you suffer from indigestion. It is not eo.sy to be a 
good Christian when there is acid and poison in the stomach and 
boivels. A minister of the Gospel should tell the congregation what 
to eat. We imagine that the prayer of a dyspeptic does not go very 
high, perhaps no higher than the ceiling. 

Your stomach is a laboratory. If you put fermentable food into 
your stomach, the food ferments. If 37-ou put acid food into your 
stomach, 3rour stomach will become acid. Y/hen you suffer from con- 
gestion in the bowels, or when you are constipated, you should re- 
member that foods that are rich in Magnesium, Sodium, Chlorin, and 
Potash, will help. Drink salty water at such a time, it will help 
you, 

Chlorin is another salt that the Almighty put into the system to im- 
prove the metabolism of starch, fat, sugar, albumin, and protein. 

If you wish to convert fat into heat, you should eat Potash-contain- 
ing food, Sodium-containing food, Silicon-containing food, those 
salts arc necessarjr for the purpose of converting the fat into heat 
units. If there is not enough" of Oxygen, Sodium, Chlorin, Potassi- 
um, Iron, and Silicon, all of which arc tissue salts, you cannot con- 
vert fat into heat units; nor can you convert sugar into heat units. 
You cannot convert fat into calories without breaking down some of 
those salts. 

People are more nervous in hot, sultry weather, because of lack of 
Sodium. Heat, or sultrjr weather, precipitates the salts. People 
are in danger of heart trouble during July and August, when the 
heart is weak, You are in danger of heart failure yourself, even 
when your heart is strong, during July and August, if there is a 
la.ck of Sodium salt in your system. During the fall and spring, 
and in the evening, there is a great deal more Carbonic Oxide in the 
air. At that time the fever of the consumptive increases, and keeps 
increasing until about twelve o'clock at night. Then the fever 
passes away. Then the perspiration starts, and he suffers from ex- 
haustion and night sweats. 

The Almighty never intended that we should drink ordinary water, full 
of germs and minerals. He made vegetables and greens which contain 
from fifty percent up to ninet3r~eight percent, or more, of water. 
In greens and vegetables we get organized water. That is the kind of 
water that is needed in the human organism, The Sodium supply

is lowered by drinking ordinary water, or, in fact, any kind of wa- 
ter, 'tfater-dr inking, washes the Sodium salts out of the system. 
People are drinking too much. They are drinking coffee, ice cold 
water, postura, chocolate, and all sorts of drinks not good for the 
stomach, nor for the health in general. 

The harder you study, the more Sodium you need. Have you noticed 
that your perspiration is salty? 

Temper and excitement uses up Sodium salt. The more high-tempered 
you are, the more you burn up, or destroy, Sodium salt. At last 
you will suffer from indigestion, because of your temper. It is 
much better to cultivate affection then to cultivate temper. If 
you cultivate love, you will cure your indigestion; but if you cul- 
tivate temper, you fill your system with toxins and impurities. 

A mother needs Calcium, Sodium, Iron, and Silicon in abundance, be- 
cause the baby is taking up all of those salts and a great many 
others. Morning sickness is an indication of a lack of Sodium, 
Supply Sodium in abundance, and morning sickness disappears. Giz- 
zard contains an abundance of Sodium. The coming mother should 
eat gizzards, drink gizzard extracts, and cat plent^r of celery. 
This will cure morning sickness. You can buy ingluvin, which is 
gizzard extract, or organized Sodium. It is excellent for morn- 
ing sickness. You can buy this ingluvin at any Homeopathic drug 
store, or you can prepare gizzard extract yourself, by cooking 
gizzard very slowly, until you get the extract only. Menstruation 
is impossible when there is an absolute lack of Sodium and Iron 
salts. 

Fluorin, Sodium, and Chlorin are the three salts that the 
spleen needs. The spleen is the most blood^r organ in the body. 
The spleen has a good deal to do with the circulatory system, and 
the vital organs. The spleen is also the dumping ground for the 
red blood corpuscles, as we have been told by physiologists. 

When there is a lack of Sodium, the canal walls become more and 
more covered with Calcium salts. To get the Calcium out of the 
walls of the stomach, or out of the canal walls, out of the arter- 
ial walls, it becomes necessary to eat Sodium foods in abundance. 
The very best way to cure arterio— sclerosis is before you get it, 
merely by eating foods that are rich in Sodium. 

There are two functions of Sodium going on in your bod2r — tissue 
Sodium, and free Sodium. Tissue Sodium is found in the tissues. 
Free Sodium is used by the functions. 

Sodium, Potash, Chlorin, and Fluorin, are needed when germs are 
prolific. 

Milk is full of Calcium salts. Uhen there is an excess of Calci- 
um salts in the blood, or in the tissues, boils are prolific.

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAIN ED: 

CARROTS — are one of the very best foods we cr.n oat. They may be 
eaten raw or cooked. If we cook them, we cook out most of the So- 
dium salts, and if we pour the juice into the sink, we pour the 
salts into the sink also. If you cook the carrots, do not use very 
much water, then drink the water; or steam the carrots, i.e., cook 
them in steam. Carrot juice is excellent for the kidneys, for the 
liver, for the digestion, for the bowels. Carrot juice makes the 
stomach walls alkaline. 

CELERY — You may think that celery is of no special value, but it 
is of the greatest value to the nerves and brain. b It supplies 
Sodium to the tissues, the organs, the secretions. Celery is im- 
portant because it is rich in Sodium. It has a neutralizing ef- 
fect upon the tissues, and upon the nerves. V/hcn you suffer from 
gas generation, press out celery juice and drink it in abundance. 
Eat celery for one whole day, or two days, or three days, or a week, 
if it be necessary. If you are not then well, eat celery another 
wook, and do this until you feel better. 

LENTILS — are rich in Potash, but they do not contain much Silicon, 
nor Sulphur. Eat lentils, together with foods containing Silicon 
and Sulphur, when 3rou suffer from dropsy. A salty dry diet will 
save you, but drugs will not; and operations will not, 

ALMOND NUTS -are said to be the "King of Nuts 11 -. They are rich in 
nearly all the elements needed b3r the body, but they arc low in Sil- 
icon and in Chlorin. This is the reason that you should salt the 
nuts. They are rich in Phosphorus, and are, therefore, good for 
brain-workers. Do not eat Almond Nuts by themselves, eat them to- 
gether with other foods. The skin, outside the nut, should be 
taken off, as it contains certain toxins, which are not good for your 
system. Y7h.cn you bake Almond Nuts, they arc improved, providing 
you use plenty of common salt* Bake the salt into thorn. Dc not 
eat bitter Almond Nuts, for they contain a small percent of Prussic 
acid, which is a very energetic poison, 

PISTACHIO NUTS -r Those nuts are high in Sodium, and contain also 
Fluorin in a small quantity. Those nuts are valuable in times of 
indigestion caused bjr a low Sodium supply. 

OKRA — is rich in Sodium and in Chlorin. Eat Okra in conjunction 
with other foods. No other food is so rich in Sodium and in 
Chlorin* 

SPINACH - This is one of the best foods that we can eat. VThen con- 
stipo-tod, because of lack of Potassium salts in the alimentary tract, 
eat spinach, and more spinach, and still more spinach. Stasis is 
that kind of constipation which is caused by lack of Potassium. It 
is cured by eating plen'cy of raw spinach, cooked about three minutes 
in its own steam. VJhen you cat spinach, be sure to wash it in runn- 
ing wcuter, and cut it into fairly small pieces, then sprinkle it 
with distilled water, and cook it in its own steam for three minutes. 
Spinach contains all the salts needed by your system. It is espe- 
cially rich in Potassium salts. Spinach also contains Iron salts.

FOOD ANALYSIS EXP LAINED : (Continued) 

STRAY/BERRIES - should be fresh. They must not be decayed, nor un- 
ripe. If a strawberry has a white end, do not eat it. Do not 
eat hot-house strawberries. Do nor pour cream on strawberries; 
and do not put any sugar on them. .Eat them as the Almighty made 
them. Strawberries are excellent for gout. Canned strawberries 
contain too much sugar. The manufacturers spoil the strawberries, 
by canning them in sugar, 

SY/EET APPLES — are good if eaten raw. If you bake apples, do not 
use much sugar. Always use sweet apples, not sour apples. Sour 
apples are too high in malic acid. 

ASPARAGUS - is good for indigestion. It contains Sodium, also 
Sulphur. Of course, the Sulphur is not very good for indigestion, 
but the Sodium salts are. If you have an acid stomach, the Sul- 
phur contained in asparagus, is turned into gas. 

BEETS — are rich in Sodium, and also in a certain kind of sugar. 

COCOANUT - contains an acid called Myristic acid. The kind of fat 
that cocoanut contains has a. remarkable reconstructive effect upon 
the chest in ladies. For chest cultivation, cocoanut is an excel- 
lent food. Cocoanut contains no Iron, but it is rich in Chlorin.. 
Cocoanut is excellent for the nerves, and for the brain, and for 
the lung substance. For some reason not known, cocoanut, in con- 
nection with breathing exercises, will build up a very large chest 
in ladies, the same as cream and buttermilk will enlarge the lower 
bowels and the hips. 

CUCUMBERS - are rich in Sulphur. They are very cooling, and there 
fore an excellent food during July and August, When it is hot and 
sultry. 

EGG YOLK — is lecithin. It is rich in the Vitamines. It contains 
nerve salts, brain salts, Fluorin, Protein, fat, Iron, Sulphur, 
Calcium, Phosphorus, and a certain digestive principle called di- 
astase. The white of the egg should not be eaten, except by the 
man who does hard physical work. The brain-worker needs the yolk, 
not the albumen. Egg albumen is poison to the nerves; a nervous 
lady ought to leave egg white alone. 

FIGS - arc rich in all the salts. They arc especially rich in 
Calcium, in sugar, and in worms. People who eat figs may be sure 
that they arc also eating worms, but fig worms will hurt no one, 
except the taste, or the sight, of those who cat them. Figs are 
excellent for constipation. 

FISH - is rich in Calcium, Chlorin, Sodium, Potash, Phosphorus, but 
fish contains no Iron, no Sulphur, no Silicon. Y7c should eat 
foods containing those elements lacking in the fish. Fish is a 
good food for the brain-worker, because of the fat, and the Phos- 
phorus, and the Chlorin and Sodium it contains. 



F-16 

LOBSTERS - are full of Phosphorus. Whiting and Smelt .are high 
Phosphorus-containing fish. 

GOOSEBERRIES - are rich in Potash, Phosphorus and Calcium. 

COT'S MILK - is good for calves, but not for babies. There 
is too much Calcium in cow's milk for babies. No food is richer in 
Calcium than cow's milk. It is also rich in Potash and Chlorin, 
to some extent, 

GOAT'S MILK —contains the blood salts. Goat's milk and goat 1 s 
cheese are ^ood for people who are weak in the medulla., -or in whom 
the circulation is defective. It is rich in Fluorin. Outside 
of goat's milk, goat's cheese, and pistachio nuts, it is not easy 
to get foods that contain Fluorin. 

STEEL CUT OATMEAL — contains a greater quantity of Silicon than any 
other food. 17© find also Potash and Phosphorus, in stcclcut Oat- 
meal; also avenin, which is one of the most strengthening and stim- 
ulating principles for the sexual system. 

PRUNES - are good for people who suffer from constipation. If 
there is a lack of bile in the system, eat prunes and drink prune 
juice. But do not drink more than you can assimilate. Remember 
that you have your limitations. 

RADISHES - arc full of Sulphur. '.Then you cat radishes be sure that 
there is no acid in your stomach, for if there is acid in your 
stomach you will suffer from gas generation. The Sulphur in the 
radishes will be converted into gas, and this ga.s will pass into 
your red blood corpuscles, 

RUTABAGAS - arc excellent for the tissues and brain. They are also 
rich in Sulphur, but not high in Sulphur, If your stomach is acid, 
or if you already have too much gas, rutabagas are not a good food. 

TURNIPS - are fine for the tissues and the brain. If your stomach 
is acid, you cannot tolerate them, on account of the high percent 
of Sulphur contained in turnips. This Sulphur will be converted 
into gas, and will make you more sick. 

Q UESTIONS AND ANSWERS : 

1. Is Sodium food good in times of diphtheria? A. — Sodium does 
I not cure diphtheria. 

2. Are radishes difficult to digest? A. — A medical doctor said 
that radishes is one of the hardest foods to digest there is, and 
that they cause acute indigestion. Radishes are not difficult to 
digest, but they contain considerable of Sulphur. If your stomach 
is already acid, the Sulphur that the radishes contain, is converted 
into gas, and it is this gas that would produce acute indigestion. 
it is not the radishes, but it is the Sulphur in the radishes that 
produces indigestion, or acute indigestion. The Sulphur in cabbage 
also produces gas. All sorts of Sulphur foods produce gas when 
there is acid in your stomach, but not otherwise. Radishes digest 
in about thirty -eight minutes; they are ca.sy of digestion, but they 
generate Sulphur gas,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS : (Continued) 

3. V/hy does a person get cramps in his legs at night? Will Sodium 
cure it? A.. — Cramps in the legs are caused by low tissue oxi- 
dation, acid in the tissues, and lack of the blood salts in the 
blood. Sodium food will not cure it, but it will help to cure it. 

4. What are the symptoms of Albuminuria? A. — Albumin in tho 
urine is the principal symptom. 

5. Are there any special gizzards from the fowls that you recommend, 
or do you refer to chicken gizzard only? A. — All sorts of giz- 
zards are rich in Sodium, Any gizzard is valuable. 

6. Some of the Sodium foods listed require cooking. How about the 
Sodium above 130° Fahrenheit? A. — Yes, some Sodium foods re- 
quire cooking. We should cook in such a way that we may preserve 
the salts. Carrots should be steamed, if not eaten raw. When we 
cook food in a very high heat, foods are not so valuable. 

7. If the central nervous system of an insane person is affected, 
would Sodium foods cure him? A. — No. 

8. Are there any food compounds in the body, besides sweets and wa- 
ter, that destroy Sodium salts? A. — Yes. 

9. How should the gizzard be used, whole, or just the outer skin, 
or the meat? A. — The inner part. It is not the skin that is 
valuable, but the inner part. 

10. Is there any Sodium in ogg plant? A. — Yes. But there is 
so much acid in egg plant that it will make our stomachs m~rc acid 
if we eat it. 

11. Should celery be eaten alone at a meal? What foods should be 
eaten with celery? A. - Celery may be eaten in any way you 
choose. Any foods may bo eaten with celery, the same as you may 
eat any kind of food with spinach, or with carrots. And why? Be- 
cause such foods are rich in Sodium salts. You should always eat 
some kind of Sodium-containing food at your meals. And the more 
starch, or fat, or sugar, you oat, the more you should eat of 
Sodium-containing foods. 

12. If Sodium decomposes water, is it well to drink celery broth 
made from the coarse parts and leaves? A. — Sodium decomposes 
water, but celery is organized Sodium, and does not decompose water 
in the stomach. It helps to organize water instead of decomposing 
it. When we eat celery, or any kind of Sodium food, we should not 
drink water. 

13. Do celery seeds contain much Sodium? A. — Yes. They are 
rich in.. Sodium, also in Potash and Sulphur. 



E-18 



14. which is the best way to obtain celery juice? Is there any way 
to keep it for any length of time? A. — You should never try + ,o 
keep it for any length of time, but use it right away. The best 
way is to press it out by means of a meat press. 



15. Does the body need more Sodium than any other salt? 
The body needs more Chlorin than any other salt. 



A. - No, 



16. Does Saleratus contain Sodium? 
Oxide. 



A. — Saleratus is a Sodium 



17. Does the continued use of drinking salt water, have a tendency 
to harden the arteries? A. — If there is a lack of Sodium salt 
in the system, it will. 

18. Can a man lack Hydrochloric acid, and still have acidity in the 
stomach? A. — Lack of Hydrochloric acid would result in acidity. 
It should be remembered, also, that there are many different kinds 
of acids in the body. One kind of acid is caused by Phosphorous 
products; another kind of acid is the result of Carbon products; 
and still another kind of acid is a result of Sulphur products. 
There are many kinds of acidit^r. 

19. \7hs*t chemical salts does the stomach lack, when beans are hard 
to digest? A. — Sodium and Chlorin salts* 



20. \7hat is the cause of bilious headache? 
Chlorin, and I.iagnesium. 



A. — Lack of Sodium, 



21. If Sodium is precipitated in times of great heat, how will hot 
celery water effect inflammatory rheumatism? A. — Precipitation 
of Sodium salts by external heat, or by excess of heat in the blood, 
or by inflammation in the stomach, or by inflammation in a joint, 
are very different processes of precipitating Sodium in the system 
than the applico-tion of celery water on an affected rheumatic part. 
If you ^ppl7 hot celery water applications to a rheumatic part, you 
are simply reducing the inflammation, that is all. Inflammatory 
rheumatism, however, is not caused by precipitation of Sodium salts 
so much as it is caused by a certain germ. Inflammatory rheuma- 
tism calls for dry hea.t, 

22. Yfaat can be done for excessive Sodium in tissues? How can it 
be equally distributed to blood, fluids, and secretions? A. — 
If the tissues take up too much Sodium, it requires time and pa- 
tience to overcome this tendency. 

23. Should table salt be used in Bright 1 s disease? Is dropsy 
caused by albuminuria.? A. — Table salt is not taken up by the 



tissues. Hence, table salt would not cu3 
ganic Chlorin and Sodium are needed in 3r: 



e Bright* s disease, 
.ffht's disease. 



Cr- 



24. 'That difference does it make if Sodium salts are in solution in 
the stomach by the drinking of water at meals? A. — If oliere is 
much water in the stomach, the Sodium and Chlorin will mix with the 
water, and pass out of the system through the kidne3^s.

L ECTURE NOTES . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS , SUBJECT- IRON {FERRUM). 

Hernoglobinogencsis is a word that means — ■ blood production, or the 
manufacture of hemoglobin. u Hemo a means - blood; "globe" means — 
ball; and "genesis" means - production. The manufacture of hemo- 
globin stands in close relation to oxidation. If there is a lack 
of hemoglobin, there is usually also lov; oxidation in the blood. 

When a man falls in love, there is a greater production of the red 
corpuscles. The red corpuscles are manufactured in greater abun- 
dance during a happy state of mind. A happy state of mind stimu- 
lates the sexual system. When a man marries, he should be at his 
best, which holds good in regard to a lady, also. Abundance of 
Iron in the blood, and abundance of red corpuscles, results in bet- 
ter offspring. A man who is sexually wer*k should marry for de- 
velopmental purposes, but should not become the father of offspring 
before he is strong. 

The hemoglobin of the red corpuscles of the blood contain Iron. 
Iron is necessary when it is a question of health. Many people 
take drug store Iron. Some business men have heard that Iron is 
good for the blood, so they manufacture a certain kind of Iron and 
advertise it heavily, We should remember that the human organiza- 
tion is organic, and cannot assimilate Iron in drug form, or in an 
inorganic form. \7e should remember that nature must manufacture 
the Iron which is to be taken up by the body. Without Iron we 
could not live very long.

the strain, if they were made of that kind 



There is an affinity between Oxygen and Iron in the blood. They 
rush into each others u arms u . 

If we had sense enough to cat foods that are rich in Iron, we 
would have plenty of Iron in our blood. 

If 3^ou take drug Iron for a long time, _ that Iron will eventually 
be eliminated by your kidneys, and in being eliminated by your kid- 
neys, it will break down your kidney cells, decompose the walls 
of your kidneys, and you will die from dropsy, or albuminuria, or 
some other kidney disease. Leave such Iron alone. 

Metallic Iron will disturb the Iron that you have already in the 
blood. If the spinal marrow becomes weak, or weakened by heat, 
germs, gas, or some other condition, eventually the red corpuscles 
will not be manufactured in the bone marrow; lastly, that same per- 
son, or you, will suffer from anemia, which may also run into 
diabetes and dropsy. When there is a lack of Iron, some kind of 
dropsy is usually the result. The red corpuscles must eventually 
go to the liver. There the Iron undergoes a certain process and 
becomes duly qualified to enter into the hemoglobin of the red cor- 
puscles of the blood, and enter the vim of tissue life. 



F-SO 

If you take drug Iron, you may improve temporarily, but you will im- 
prove at the expense of your own life. People used to take arsenic 
for a beautiful complexion, formerly. They have a bright eye and a 
beautiful complexion for a time, but all at once the arsenic does 
its work, and the complexion, or the beauty, disappears, and they 
look old and homely, and die before time. This is also true in re- 
gard to drug store Iron. 

Green grapes will improve the complexion, but if you eat green 
grapes to excess, your blood will be too rich in sugar, and your 
liver will become enlarged. 

Whenever you have too much Iron in your system, you have a tired 
feeling somewhere in the forehead, or eyes, or elsewhere. You have 
that same sensation when you suffer from Iron starvation. Iron is 
stimulating. It gives energy to functions. When a man grows weak, 
has no power, no strength, it is perhaps because there is a lack of 
Iron in his blood, and he cannot oxidize his blood. When you can- 
not oxidize your blood, nor your tissues, you are growing weak, day 
by day. 

When there is a lack of Iron, there is often also a lack of Potas- 
sium. When you have plenty of Iron in your blood, your nerves are 
stimulated, and you are usually better nourished. If you marry 
when you have plenty of Iron in your blood, or when you have red 
corpuscles in abundance, and all the hemoglobin in the red corpu- 
scles a.re charged with Iron, and you become a father, or a mother, 
3>-ou have greater power of transmission to send energy into every 
little cell, resulting in strong end healthy offspring, as well as 
gifted. Is it not better to know this, or is it not better to 
know how 3?-ou can get Iron and Oxygen into your system, than it is to 
have a thousand volumes of eugenics on 3>-our shelves? Without Iron 
and Oxygen you cannot transmit yourself to your child. Your child 
becomes Atrophic, a weakling; perhaps that child fills the consump- 
tive^ grave before the child is twenty— one years of age. 

When you have Iron in your blood, and Fotassium in your tissues, and 
Oxygen, to act upon your functions throughout, you are more fasci- 
nating, more beautiful, more useful. You have more energy, more 
magnetism; greater transmissive power. You know what you are doing, 
you know your duties, and you fulfil your duties. 

When there is a lack of Phosphorus, the patient suffers from neuras- 
thenia; the patient is so weak that he can hardly hold his jaws to- 
gether. 

If you want to become more efficient, more successful, if you want 
to love to the fullest capacity, if you want to attract attention 
and become popular among the opposite sex, eat foods that are rich 
in Iron. But do not take drug Iron; fall back upon that kind of 
food which is rich in the Iron element. Eat wild blackberries from 
the Iron Belts in Michigan, or from the Iron Belts in Oregon. 

If 3?-ou have a weak stomach you cannot digest bran, nor take the Iron 
out of the bran. Some foods do not give up their Iron readily, it 
requires a very strong stomach to take Iron* out of bran, but it does 
not require a strong stomach to take the Iron out of wild blackber- 
ries, from the hills in Michigan, or in Oregon.

Before going upstairs, or carrying something heavy, or before rim- 
ing fast, always fill your lungs full with Oxygen, If you get out 
of breath easily, you do not have enough of Oxygen in your blood; 
you suffer from Oxygen hunger quickly. This means that you do not 
have Iron in the hemoglobin; it means that the red corpuscles can- 
not carry enough of Oxygen for your system. It means that the 
hemoglobin cannot take up very much Oxygen. It is not a question 
of how many red corpuscles you have in your blood, so much as it 
is a question - How readily those red corpuscles are charged with 
Iron, and with Oxygen. If they are healthy, and vigorous, and if 
they have plenty of Iron in their interior, they carry Oxygen to 
lungs and tissues in abundance. Le.ck of air is lack of hemoglo- 
bin, or it is lack of Iron. This results in asthma. A man 
needs plenty of Oxygen in order to run fast. The faster you run, 
the more it is necessary to hold your lungs out, and, fill with air. 
The more aggressive you want to be, the more you want to argue, 
the more positive you want to be — the more it is necessary to 
charge your lungs with fresh air. It is through Iron that Oxygen 
comes into your blood. 

V/hon Oxygen is at work in the tissues, there is plenty of energy, 
life and heat in the tissues. Then, there is heat generated in - 
the muscles; then ycu feel warm, even when it is cold. Then you 
feel energetic; then you can fill your lungs with air; then you 
feel that life is a pleasure. 

The Almighty wants us to have Iron and Oxygen in abundance and, 
therefore, energy and life, especially when it is a question of 
transmission of life. You may write and read volumes on birth 
culture, but it would not do you very much good, unless you have 
Iron and Oxygen, energy and a strong sexuality. You cannot give 
birth to vigorous and gifted offspring, merely by reading works on 
eugenics and birth culture. 

Iron is used up, to a great extent, in the liver and in the spleen, 
and in other parts of the body. There is considerable Iron in 
the red marrow of the bone. If the marrow is red., it indicates 
cnerg^r in the marrow cells. If there is a lack of Iron in the 
liver, or in the blood, or in the spleen, there is a dcfie»i«efl,c^ of 
Oxygen. And, wherever there is a deficiency of Iron in some parts 
of the body, there is a deficiency of Oxygen. 

You find Iron and Oxygen at work, vigorously, in the Myogenic and 
Oxyphoric constitutions; never Iron to excess in any other consti- 
tution. The Atrophic constitution is low in Iron and, thcrsforc, 
also low in tissue oxidation and in the oxidation of the blood. 
In Pathetic people, oxidation is low; -in Dcsmogcnics oxidation is 
often low; in Carbofcric people oxidation is almost always low, 
especially after they reach the age of about thirty-five. Some 
people suffer from Iron-hunger and from Oxygen-hunger, after 
thirty— five, and sometimes often before. 

Plethoric temperament means that there is an excess of Iron and 
certain other salts, as well as of Oxygen. V/hen Oxygon is too 
dense, it results in plethora. IThcn there is an excess of Iron 



F-22 

a man may become a sensualist. There is an increase of nerve 
power. Excess of Iron attracts Oxygen, perhaps even to excess; and 
when Oxygen is in excess, the man is under a heavy Oxygen pressure. 
If a iv oman lacks Iron she cries readily. She craves for love and 
sympathy, almost all of the time.b She is like a baby. 

Furnish Iron to the tissues, and Phosphorus to the brain in abund- 
ance, and you can do mental work efficiently, and without fatigue. 
V/hen there is a lack of Phosphorus, we are weak in brain function, 
and also physically. V/hen there is a lack of Iron for any length 
of time in a young girl, or in a woman, she lastly becomes hysteri- 
cal. Starve the body too long and it cannot take up Iron. The 
tongue becomes thick, when there is a lack of Iron. 

If you eat Sulphur foods to excess, that Sulphur which is not taken 
up by the system is converted into gas, and passes into the red cor- 
puscles and fills up the hemoglobin, so that the hemoglobin cannot 
carry Oxygen normally. Then, the Iron in the hemoglobin will do you 
no good. People who suffer from Sulphur gas, suffer also from low 
oxidation, and yet, there may be nothing wrong with their blood, so 
far as the blood count is concerned. 

Animals always become more tubercular towards spring and fall, when 
there is a tendency to tuberculosis; simply because animals during 
winter and spring, cannot obtain the right kind of food. The feed 
that the animals get during the winter docs not contain Iodin in suf- 
ficient quantities. This is the reason that oxidation is low in an- 
imals during the winter. It should be remembered that Iodin has a 
great deal to do with oxidation. Whenever a girl suffers from low 
oxidation, she is likely to suffer from goiter; and she suffers from 
goiter because there is a lack of Iodin in the thyroid gland. To 
cure goiter of this kind, it is necessary to eat foods that a.re rich 
in Iodin, and practice breathing exercises in abundance. 

We always obtain more Oxygen when the air is attenuated, where the 
altitude is high. . If we live in a dense atmosphere and low alti- 
tude, we -lack Oxygen. 

The Calciferic, and the Desmogcnic, need Iron and Potassium foods in 
abundance . 

When you use your brain vigorously, all the way from ten to twenty 
times as much blood goes to the brain. If you become very excited, 
the blood flows to the brain tremendously, and the red corpuscles 
die in great numbers. At last the brain becomes hyperemic, or 
overcharged with blood. How do you think this will affect your 
health for a day or more? 

A disturbance of specific gravity in the blood, either one way or 
another, affects the function of sleep, even the function of the 
brain. 

Oxypheric people usually have the blood salts in abundance. They 
are full of energy., If you are a business man and you want a part- 
ner for the purpose of promoting your business, you must hire an 
Oxypheric man. Such a man is a great talker, and can always get 
people interested; he can inspire confidence and enthusiasm.

When a man grows old, the red corpuscles die in great numbers, and 
he cannot manufacture red corpuscles fast enough. The Iron in his 
Blood is below par; he becomes weak and feeble. The hemoglobin 
cannot carry enough of Oxygen to his various functions, and there 
will be an insufficiency of Oxygen in his system. As he grows 
still older, his strength fails, because oxidation fails, then he 
must die.

To influence people, we must have an abundance of red blood corpu- 
scles and plenty of Oxygen in the system, and also the essential 
vegetable salts, by means of which the functions carry on the com- 
plexity of life. We must have Iron in abundance in the hemoglobin 
of the blood. 

If a man is not vigorous he does not eat rightly, else he has unde- 
sirable habits. A young man has more executive power, and power 
of organization, than an old man has, because of abundance of Iron, 
Oxygen, and Potassium, which he has in his system. The business 
house always wants young men in its service. After a man is fifty- 
five, or sixty, or sixty— five years of age, business firms do not 
care for him, because he is not vigorous enough. A business house 
wants vigorous men. A business house, however, does not always 
know how to keep its men vigorous. If ycou want 
a machine you must feed the machine rightly, and 
This is exactly what business men forget. They 
placing their employees where they can act according 
lent, nor do they ever teach their employees how to « 
If employers would teach their employees how to eat and live, they 
could increase the efficiency of their employees, and obtain, i^cr— 
haps, twice as much work out of them. It is not easy to get work 
out of a tired mule, neither is it cas3^ to get work out of a dys- 
peptic, nor speed out of a consumptive, nor patience out of a ner- 
vous, sickl}^ lady. Everything that weakens the red corpuscles of 
the blood, weakens also the Oxygen-carrying capacity of tho red cor- 
puscles. Anything that weakens the Iron in the hemoglobin of the 
blood, leads to inefficiency in the Oxygen function. If there is 
tpo much blood, and too much Iron, and too many blood salts, the 
result is Plethora - resulting in inefficiency again. 

People who have a normal quantity of Iron and Oxygen are never de- 
pressed. When there is an excess of Iron in the blood, or when 
there is an insufficiency of Iron in the blood, in both cases there 
is mental depression. The man who lacks Oxygen feels that every- 
thing is against him. The nan who has Iron and Oxygen in excess, 
also feels that everything is against him. When you are going: to

We should remember that the bod- requires organic iron; the system 
needs food Iron, not drug store Iron,

Uc have been told that Iron is used over and over again in the body. 
This is relatively true. But Iron is eliminated from the body, 
and after the Iron shall have been eliminated from the body, it is 
not in the body any longer. The menstrual function uses Iron at 
each menstrual period, to carry out the menstrual function. That 
Iron which is broken down, and precipitated, is lost, and is not 
in the body any longer. When there is a lack of Iron in the 
blood, the mcnstrueJ. function is inefficient; blood clots form, and 
menstruation is painful. The Iron that is used in the muscles is 
broken down and eliminated, and is not in the body any more. 
Therefore, also, that Iron which is eliminated, or precipitated, 
crjinot be used over and over again. Wc need a new supply. 

The more Iron. a. man has in his system, up to a. normal amount, the 
greater capacity that same man has in his various functions. A 
woman docs not have as many red corpuscles to the count as a man, 
neither docs she have the same Oxygen— carrying capacity as a man. 
A woman uses Iron in carrying out the feminine functions. It is 
impossible for a. mother to grow, a baby without using up her own 
Iron. It is impossible for a mother to menstruate, without using 
up the Iron in her body. Even the Iron that the mother has, goes 
to the baby r and, if she does not know enough to cat foods that 
arc rich in Iron, so that she may replenish her own blood with Iron, 
she will suffer from Iron hunger, and therefore, also, from Oxygen 
hunger. If Iron is not supplied, she lastly suffers from tumors, 
weakness, disturbances, and female ailments, that no drug doctor, 
no Osteopath can cure. When she is placed on the operation tabic, 
not a word is said about Iron food. Then the white-robed, skilful 
surgeon operates, but he himself does not know that that lady suffers 
from tumors because of a lack of Iron in her blood. But if 3 r ou let 
her cat wild blackberries in abundance, or drink the juice from wild 
blackberries, she would gradually improve, and no more tumors would 
form for the surgeon to cut out; her complexion would improve, and 
she would no longer be hysterical. A lack of Iron leads to the 
divorce court. A mother cannot be a good mother without iron; and 
a wife cannot be a good wife without Iron, according to the scheme 
of the Almighty. 

Sometimes wc think that wc catch cold. The factis that we do not 
catch cold,, neither do wo catch hot. Wc are, perhaps, inhaling 
germs, or perhaps wc have been breaking down too many rod corpu- 
scles. Perhaps wc have been doing too much brain work; perhaps 
there is a. congestion somewhere in the system; perhaps there is not 
enough of Iron, nor enough of Oxygen. Very few people know that 
there is a close communication between the brain and the nose. If 
this communication is disturbed; if the nose is stopped up; or if 
the frontal sinus is full of mucus to the extent of congestion, how 
do you think you would feel? Do you not think you would suffer 
from, headache and catarrh, and do you not think that the red cor- 
puscles would 'die in great numbers in that very place? And do you 
not think that there would be pus formation taking place in the na- 
sal membrane, and in the frontal sinus? Do you not think that your 
brain would perspire and suffer fr$m the effect of such nasal con- 
gestion? 

Those girls who have plenty of Iron and Oxygen in their blood, never 
need to go to a beauty parlor. Oxygen and Iron arc the Almighty's 
complexion specialists, and beauty restorers.

If the duodenum is unable to take up the Iron, the Iron is not ta-

Bran contains Iron, but it requires a very strong stomach to di- 
gest and assimilate the food salts contained in bran. It is bet- 
ter to drink blackberry juice when you need Iron. Drink black- 
berry juice, and go out into the open air, up into the hills, and 
breathe fresh air in abundance, and you improve. 

Go to the hills in Michigan, or in Oregon, or in Tennessee, where 
wild blackberries groiv by the millions, and make blackberry juice 
in season, and take the blackberry juice home and use it during 
the winter. This would be much wiser than to run to specialists 
and lie on operation tables. 



We should never take inorganic Iron drugs, nor any kind of

IThcn you arc called to play on a piano, or at a concert, you spend, 
perhaps, the whole day previous on the piano, in order to make a 
good showing. By so doing 3-ou get tired. You use up the vege- 
table salts in your system, and burn up 3-our nerve force, and when 
the time comes to do the playing - you fc.il. If you had stayed 
away from the piano and gone to bed, or had taken a trip up into 
the hills, and drank wild blackberry juice, and then gone to the 
piano, you would have done credit to yourself, and all the people 
would have marveled at your skill, technique, romance and poetry, 
in playing on the piano. 

If you suffer from floating kidney, you can fasten the kidney, with

The word "Vitamincs means life source. The Vitaminos are found 
in the seeds of foods. If you cook an apple, you kill the Vi- 
tamines. The Vitamincs cannot stand any more cooking than you 
can stand. If you jump into a boiling pot for about one hour, 
how much life would there be left in you? Raw meat juice contains 
the Vitamincs, but cooked meat juice, or cooked neat, contains no 
Vitr.raincs. Young meat contains more Vitamincs than old meat. 
Always get your meat from young animals, if possible; and eat 
foods fresh from the garden, Ycu should live close to nature, 
in order to get the Vitamincs — when you arc sick, or weak.

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED: 

RYE BREAD - All people should eat rye bread, if they suffer from 
Calcium excess. There is an excess of Calcium in whole wheat 
bread. If you are old and stiff, you had, better not eat whole 
wheat bread, any longer, nor had you btstter drink milk, nor eat 
cheese, n(jr eat cabbage. If you suffer from hardening of the ar- 
teries eat rye bread, and drink plent^r of distilled water, but 
lea-ve whole wheat bread alone. 

BEEF - You do not find the Vitamines in fried beef, but you find 
the Vitamines in the juice pressed out of raw meat. The best beef 
is tough beef, because it contains the salts, simply because it has 
been exercised. 

BLACKBERRIES - Blackberries that have not been canned in sugar are 
better. You find Iron salts in blackberries. You can never get 
any other food so rich in Iron as wild blackberries. Cultivated 
blackberries, however, never contain as much Iron as wild black- 
berries. 



HEAD LETTUCE - We find Iron, also Sodium, in lettuce. We find 
more Iron in head lettuce than in leaf lettuce. There is more Iron 
in a large dish of blackberries than in four gallons of cow's milk. 
The baby, or the fetus, or the embryon, does not need an Iron diet. 
The growing child does .not need an Iron diet. This is the reason 
that the Almighty arranged it so that the baby, or the child, should 
get an Iron— free diet, simply because the baby, or the child, al- 
ready has Iron in abundance. 



ASPARAGUS 



does not contain very much iron. 



BLACK CURRANTS - contain a small percent cf Iron. Currants are "val- 
uable beca.use they contain Potassium, so important for the elimina- 
tion of certain impurities from the body. 

BARTLETT PEARS - are low in salts, and contain a small percent of 
Iron. They are rich in sugar. A sugar diet does not cause decay 
of teeth, but sugar drinks the Calcium, and thus robs the teeth and 
the bones of Calcium, 

SPINACH - contains all the salts needed by the system; the Vitamines 
are found principally in the seeds of spinach. 

EGG YOLK — contains the Vitamines in abundance: the white, however, 
does not. 

SHREDDED WHEAT BISCUITS - This is a fine food for anyone suffering 
from dropsy. Do. not drink water if you suffer from dropsy. You 
need a dry diet; a diet rich in Chlorin. 



STRAWBERRIES - are good for rheumatism, if they are ripe. They 
contain Iron, and also the Vitamines, together with a great many 
other Important salts needed by the body. When you eat strawber- 
ries do not use sugar and cream. If the Almighty had intended you 
to have sugar and cream on strawberries, He would have put sugar and 
cream into them, or on the outside of then, to tempt your appetite; 
but He did not do this.

DRIED FIGS — are low in the salts, and do not contain much Iron. 
Figs, however, are laxative. They are also full of worms. 

CONCORD GRAPES - contain a certain percent of grape sugar, also a 
small percent of Iron. They are low in the salts. If you eat 
grapes to excess you will suffer from enlargement of the liver, be- 
cause of an excess of grape sugar. Remember, that the liver must 
store up the excess of sugar that you eat. If you eat too much 
sugar, or grapes, or sweet foods, you will overtax your liver, and 
soon it will go on a strike, and then you will be in bed, or else 
on an operation table. 

GREEN GRAPES — are good for the complexion, because they contain 
arsenic. Any food containing arsenic would act upon the complex- 
ion; but if you eat grapes to excess, or if you take arsenic for 
your complexion, you will soon pay the penalty. Your complexion 
Brill at last become as murky as the skin on a toad, and you, your- 
self, will get sick, and will die before time. Green Grapes are 
excellent for syphilis, because they contain organized arsenic. 

LENTILS — are high in organic salts. If you suffer from low oxi- 
dation, dropsy, neurasthenia, - eat lentils. The}?- are rich in Po- 
tassium, and exceedingly high in organic salts. You must cook len- 
tils, otherwise 3 r ou cannot eat them. They should be soaked over 
night ajid cooked on a very slow fire, for about two and one-half 
hours. And when you eat them you she ild not eat them to excess, 
fot they are so rich in protein that you cannot digest and assimi- 
late more than about three teaspoonsfuls. 

QUESTIONS AND A NSV/ERS : 

1. How can wild blackberry juice be prepared in order to save the 
Vitamines for a young child? A. — Remember, the Vitamines are 
not in the juice but in the seeds. Eat blackberries in season; 
save the juice for the winter. This is the best that you can do. 

2. Do you recommend eating salt, or salty foods, when the appetite 
is lacking? A. — If there is a lack of appetite there is not 
necessarily a lack of Chlorin. Appetite may be lacking for many 
reasons. So long as there is no appetite, there is no gastric 
juice, and the stomach cannot digest food. Eat only when you are 
hungry. 

3. How can you keep blackberry juice from fermenting? A. - Only 
by killing the germs in canning the fruit. If there is a single 
germ in the fruit after it is canned, the juice will ferment. You 
should boil the juice and bottle up the juice when it is boiling. 

If you do everything rightly, you need no sugar for canning. 

4. Could a baby drink diluted fruit juice? A. -A baby does not 
need diluted fruit juices containing Iron. A baby usually has the 
red corpuscles in excess, and also Iron in excess, or comparative ly 
so. That is why the Almighty gives the baby milk. A baby needs 
an Iron—free diet. 



F-28 



5". Can a complete loss of voice be caused by lack of Iron and Sodi- 
um? iu — Yes. If Iron and Sodium are entirely exhausted in a 
Nitropheric lady, she is in danger of losing her voice temporarily, 
perhaps permanently. 

6. Has the lack of Iron anything to do with varicose veins? A. - 
Yes, but wrong eating and over-eating, have more to do with it, 

7. If blackberries are not obtainable, will spinach juice supply 
enough of Iron? A. — No. You should drink the spinach juice and 
eat the spinach as well, but whatever you do, do not pour out the 
spinach juice into the sink. 

8. Can blackberry juice be obtained from canned blackberries-, such 
as are purchased in grocery stores? A. — The blackberries that 
are purchased in most grocery stores, are mainly a blackberry syrup. 
The best thing you can do is'to take the blackberries out cf this 
syrup and boil them in distilled water, and take the juice outy by : 
this method, and drink. 

9. How is the condition of mental perspiration determined? Is it 
theoretical, or is it an established fact, that the brain sweats, 
and if so, does the heart and other organs sweat also? A. — We 
said brain perspiration, not mental perspiration. Brain moisture 
passes from the brain to the nose. You blow your nose, but you do 
not know where that mucus comes from. The brain is a thinking or- 
gan. -In thinking, a certain moisture exudes from the brain and 
passes through the ethmoid bone, down into the nose. This is what 
the nose is for. If that moisture cannot find its way through the 
ethmoid bone down into the nose, you may suffer from catarrh and 
headache. When you suffer from headache, you know that it is a 
fact, whether it has been established or not. If ycu experiment, 
chemically, as a scientist, you soon find out that Phosphorus per- 
spires, and that Sulphur perspires also. 



10. Can a Carboferic, or an Oxypheric , lady, suffer from lack of 
Iron? A, - Yes. An Oxypheric lady could suffer from Iron hung- 
er in, two, three minutes, merely by accidentally having an artery 
cut, also otherwise. 

11. What diet is the best for a patient suffering from high blood 
pressure, running from 150 to 190? A. — Determine the cause of 
the high blood pressure first, then remove the cause; then supply 
the diet needed. 

12. Can we supply Iron salts to the blood of an old man, and thus 
chase old age away? A. — When we grow old we die fast. There 
is a lack of blood salts and a lack of Oxygen; a hundred and one 
wrinkles appear, and we look old. When we supply Iron salts in 
abundance, and the system takes them up, we increase the Oxygen sup- 
ply, and impurities are eliminated from the body; the nutritive 
function is increased; youth is restored; or the person looks young? 
er than he did before. 



IS. Can you dry blackberries and thus keep them a year? Or, are 
they dead food then? A. — If you dry blackberries, the water 
passes up into the air. Thus, you have all the salts and the Vi- 
tamines left, ■ "They are not dead food.

QUESTIO NS AND ANSWERS : (Continued) 

14. Can you supply the blood with the Iron if you live in Chicago? 
A. —Yes, we can always obtain Iron food, in Chicago, the same as 
we can anywhere else, but it is more difficult to get fresh air, 
for the Chicago air contains all the way from fifteen up to twenty- 
seven percent of gases, impurities, dust, and fumes. 

15. Is raw spinach juice rich in Iron? A. — The juice is not 

so rich in Iron as the spinach. The iron is usually mostly in the 
leave s„ 

16. If the cheeks are faded and withered at forty, can Iron, iron 
out the wrinkles? A. — You can eat in such a way that you ap- 
pear young again at forty. 

17. When the abdominal organs fall forward, almost to the knees, 
is this caused by Iron-hunger? A. — Partly. In such a case 
most of the salts are lacking, and all of the muscles in the vi- 
tal organs are extremely weak. The cerebellum, then, is also 
weak. 

18. Is olive oil good when Iron is lacking and constipation is 
chronic? V/hat will cure this? Would you advise enemas? 

A. — Olive oil is of no special value in such a case. It is much 
better to eat laxative foods* Enemas, or enemata, widen the co- 
lon in the majority of instances, and only the water comes out. 
You cannot do very much with the hard excreta. The best thing to 
do is to eat rightly; breathe fresh air in abundance, and spend 
much of the time outdoors. Also take horseback riding exercises 
when you suffer from constipation. 

19. What shall we do if we cannot get blackberries in the winter? 
How can we supply Iron? A. — Eat those foods that you find un- 
der the heading of Iron Food. 

20. Is blackberry juice that has been heated, as good as fresh 
blackberry juice. A.. — No, but it contains Iron, nevertheless. 

21. Does the system take up Iron from spinach as readily as from 
raw egg yolk, A. — Yes. • 

22. Should blackberry juice be given in times of ulceration of the 
stomach, and in typhoid? A.. — It is better not to give any- 
thing in times of ulceration. Heal up the ulceration first, and 
if you give any kind of food, in times of ulceration, be sure that 
it is such foods that do not require digestion, as, for instance, 
raw egg yolk with milk; or raw egg yolk with orange juice. In 
times of typhoid fever, the walls of the stomach and intestines 
are almost rotten. You must not give a typhoid patient foods that 
require digestion. 

23. Do loganberries contain Iron? A. - They are low in Iron. 



F-3C 

24. What causes hiccough? A. -r The diaphragm goes upwardly and 
is held with a tension, this causes hiccough. Lack of Oxygen also 
causes hiccough. Breathe deeply and hold your breath long enough 
to stop your hiccough. 

25\ What is the difference between ordinary Sodium,. Sodium chloride, 
and Sodium carbonate? A. -• Sodium is Sodium, or it is the ele- 
ment of Sodium. Sodium chloride is table salt. Sodium carbonate 
is Sal— soda*. Sodium carbonate is used extensively in the arts. 
It is of great importance to all consumers of soap, glass, soap man- 
ufacturers, and glass manufacturers. It is also important in the 
tissues. 

26. Why are the skins of apples difficult for some people to digest? 
A. — Because the skins of the apples contain the salts. Apples 
should be baked, and they are more easy to digest. Apples, how- 
ever, contain malic acid, which is not favorable to a weak stomach. 

27. Are baked salmon, trout and halibut, too high in protein for 
the Exesthesic lady? A. — Salmon and halibut may be good for a 
laborer, but not for an Exesthesic lady; trout is better for her, 
if it is baked; but trout is not the cleanest food that we could 
find. 

28. Would a proper diet cure retroversion of the uterus? A. — 
Yes, in connection with other treatments. 

29. Does a Neurogenic man need Sodium? A.. — He needs Magnesium 
rather than Sodium. A man who has a great deal of Phosphorus in 
his system, and in whom Phosphorus, consumption is great, should eat 
foods that contain Magnesium and Phosphorus. 

30. Please give a diet suitable for a tubercular patient. A. — 
We could hardly give a general diet for tubercular patients. As a> 
general rule such foods as — Egg Yolk Shakes; Good Rye Bread; 
Goat*s Milk; Raw Meat Juice; Blackberry Juice Tonics; Oatmeal muf- 
fins; berries rich in vegetable salts and Iron; in connection with 
other foods, are very good. A consumptive should have a regular 
diet system. 

31. What salts are needed at a time of disappointment in love? 
When- a man is languid and indifferent, who was formerly happy? 

A. —Anyone who is disappointed, from whatever caase, is breaking 
down the Sodium, and filling the system with Phosphoric products 
and fatigue poison. He needs Cxygen in abundance Send that man 
to the hills, and let him forget his troubles, and forget the girl; 
■ it will do hitf good. 

32. How much Iron is there in the blood of a full grown man? A. - 
Just about enough to make a tenpenny nail. 

33. Should a Myogenic man drink buttermilk in abundance? A. — 
Nc His bowels would soon enlarge, and he ivould suffer from rheu- 

- mat ism. 

34. Does ice cream have any food value? A. —Yes, but it does 
not give us very much strength.

QUESTIO NS AND ANSWE RS: (Continued) 

35. What food value is there in milk chocolate with nuts? A. — 
This is nothing but candy, with nuts inside. The nuts are good, 
but the candy is simply candy, and no more. 

56. Can Fluorin be introduced into the system in youth and do good, 
after the age of about twenty? A, —Yes, indeed. If Fluorin 
shall have once done its work} in the bones and teeth, the teeth and 
the bones may last, perhaps,- five, perhaps ten thousand, years, 
perhaps a hundred thousand years, or longer. I have seen a skull 
that contained teeth, and geologists claimed that that skull 'was 
one hundred and twenty thousand years old. Between the ages of 
seven and twenty, the teeth are forming. This is the time that we 
need a Fluorin diet. Our parents, however, were not instructed in 
regards to the value of Fluorin during the teeth-building and bone- 
building periods. 

57. Is Cuba, or the Adirondacks, good for Iron? A. — You per- 
haps mean, if Iron foods come from the Adirondack Mountains. Do 
wild blackberries grow there? If so, I would say yes. Iron is 
found in the soil in Cuba, and everywhere else, although there may 
be a difference in the supply of Iron in the soil. 

38. When Sulphur is lacking in the system, and Sulphur foods pro- 
duce gas and liver trouble, how then can Sulphur be introduced into 
the body? A. — Eat such Sulphur-containing foods that the sys- 
tem can tolerate, as, for instance - Raw Egg Yolk, Sauer— kraut, 
Figs. , We should also remember never to over-eat of Sulphur food, 
at such a time. 

39. Can we eat raw sweet corn? If not, how long should it be 
boiled? A. — We should not eat raw sweet corn, for we cannot 
handle that kind of starch. If we must eat corn, we should boil 
it. 

40. Do you compare the buttermilk made in this country with the 
buttermilk made in Bulgaria, which is made from sheep's milk or 
from goat's milk, and prepared from the fresh milk, not boiled? 
A. — We do not compare buttermilk with buttermilk. The question 
is,' why should we eat buttermilk that is made with a germ, and 
which is mainly a mass of germs? 

41. Would Albumin, injected into the blood, produce poison, the 
same as rattlesnake poison? A. — No, I think not, although I 
have never tried it. It is true that Albumin, as found in the 
white of egg, is identical to the poison found in the rattlesnake, 
viewed from a chemical standpoint. 

42. Does the cerebellum contract when Sodium is needed, as well as 
when Iron is needed? Does a person jerk from lack of Sodium, the 
same as he does from lack of Iron? Are not the symptoms of lack 
of Iron similar to Iron excess? A. — Yes. The cerebellum con- 
tracts also when Potash is needed; it contracts when any of those 






F-3& 

salts are needed. Each and every salt has its own peculiar influ- 
ence on the cerebellum. If you compare Iron-hunger symptoms with 
Sodium-hunger symptoms, and if you compare Iron-hunger symptoms with 
Iron-excess symptoms, or Sodium— hunger symptoms with Sodium— excess 
symptoms, you will find that they are widely different. Some may 
be similar, but they are not identical. 

45. What is Iron carbonate. A. — It is a sort of a spar found 
in spathic, and clay— iron stone, often containing some manganese. 
It is Manganese that is fitted for the manufacture of certain kinds 
of steel, hence it has been called a steel ore. 

44. Could enough blackberries be put into chewing gum to make such 
Iron chev/ing gum that would supply the system with Iron? A. — 
Would it not be better to eat Iron-containing foods, just as the 
Almighty made them, than to stick the Iron into gum? When will we 
learn common sense? 

45. What should stenographers do to regain red cheeks when they are 
compelled to sit still and v/ork eight hours a day? A. — Let 
them eat Iron-containing foods, and go into the hills for Oxygen. 
This is better than to eat doughnuts and coffee, and paint the 
cheeks. 

46. How is the Iron metal administered as a tonic? A. — It is 
administered in the form of a fine powder as citrate of Iron, and 
also in other forms of drugs. We should remember, however, that 
that kind of Iron tonics are not the best Iron tonics for the blood. 

47. Should a child four years old be given Iron pills? A. — No. 
It is much better to give the child wild blackberries, or the juice 
from wild blackberries, or spinach, raw egg yolk, etc.,. the same as 
the Almighty made the foods. 

48. Does celery cabbage contain Sodium and Iron? A. — It is 
rich in Sodium, but not in Iron, 

49. Will breathing exercises, combined with Iron food, increase Oxy- 
gen? A. — To increase Oxygen go out into the hills, and then eat 
foods that are rich in Iron and Potassium. 

50. Can the Desmogenic man become normal in Iron and Oxygen? 
A. - Yes. 

51. Does old-age end study rob' the blood of Iron so much that the 
Iron cannot be supplied? A. — If we study too much, or if we 
become too scientific, we must suffer for it. 

52. What cures rheumatism? A. - It depends upon what kind of 
rheumatism. Rheumatism may be caused by acidity, it may be caused 
by Phosphorous salts, it may be. caused by an excess of Calcium, it 
may be caused by a lack of Sodium, it may be caused by germ—life. 
When we know the cause of rheumatism, we can apply a remedy, but not 
before. 

53. Are canned blackberries as rich in Iron as Concord grapes? 

A. - Concord grapes are not rich in Iron. Take blackberries and 
Concord grapes to the laboratory, and make an analysis yourself, 
and you will find out.

54. How can you cure a sweaty scalp? A. — \7hen there is too 
great activity in the hair glands and hair roots, and too much Car- 
bon in the system of a baby, or child, that same child is likely 

to suffer from a sweaty scalp. Cut down the Carbon foods, or cut 
down the food in general, and this ailment disappears. 

55. If a person is almost entirely deficient in Iron and Oxygen, is 
it possible to become perfectly normal by eating Iron— containing 
food, ?>lso by deep breathing and other means? A. — Yes. 

56* Do people who suffer from Arthritis need Iron? If not, what 
do they need in the way of diet? A. — They need Sodium and Oxy- 
gen in abundance, 

57. Are overshoes good for the average person to keep the feet 
warm in the winter, in cold cars? A. - Yes. I7e should always 
keep our feet warm, wherever we are, as this is very important. 
Keep the feet warm, but do not forget diet, exercises, breathing, 
and a suitable altitude. 

58. How fast are the red corpuscles manufactured? A. — It is 
difficult to tell. They are manufactured rapidly after eating 
foods that are rich in Iron. They are manufactured rapidly when 
you are in a high altitude and breathe much. They are manufactur- 
ed more rapidly during love states, as may be determined in the 
laboratory, and as we have seen ourselves demonstrated again and 
again. They are. also manufactured rapidly by a great many other 
means and methods. 

59. How long docs it take to build up the blood in anemic people? 

A. — This depends upon the constitution, or the type of the patient. 
V/e can supply enough of Iron to the body in twenty— four hours, but 
whether the S3rstem can assimilate enough of Iron is another ques- 
tion. !7e can lead a horse to water, but we cannot force the 
horse to drink. 

60. Are the elements in Roquefort cheese, easily taken up by any *" 
constitution? A. - Yes. Vfliy? Because those salts are or- 
ganic, and ee.sily digested and utilized, especially if the Roque- 
fort is made of 'goat's milk. Roquefort cheese, however, is usual- 
ly always made of sheep »-s milk. Goat's cheese is very scarce. 

61. Should celery root be eaten raw or cooked? A, — Raw is the 
best. 

62. Would you recommend a patient who suffers from hyperacidity, to 
eat Sodium foods in preference tc Chlorin, or should he have a com- 
bination of both? A. — Hyperacidity means excess of acid. 

When there is an excess of acid, that same acid should be neutral- 
ized, should it not? How can we neutralize acid? We can neu- 
tralize acid by another acid as, for instance, citric acid, formic 
acid; also by supplying foods that are rich in Potash, Sodium, 
llagnesium, or some other alkaline salt. 



F-34 

63. Should a patient, who* is on a diet consisting principally of 
Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Potassium, and who suffers from paralysis, 
or mild paralysis, use Sodium foods also? A, - Yes. 

64. Why is the brain constructed on a dual plan, divided into two 
hemispheres, the right and the left? A. — I am not so sure, but 
I think that one part of us is feminine, and the other is masculine. 
I do believe that, if a man were not constructed on this principle, 
it would be impossible to five rise to more than one kind of off- 
spring. There would be either no men, or else no women. There is 
another reason: When one side is useless the other side can be used. 
When one lung is gone, we can still breathe with the other lung. 
When one ear cannot hear, the other oar can heajr, ~ When one eye can- 
not see, the other eye can see. V/hen one hemisphere cannot think, 
the other hemisphere can think. Man is dual, but we really do not 
know why. 

65. Are fruit juices, raw egg yolks, steel-cut oatmeal, and graham 
toast with milk, sufficient for a baby one year old?' A, — This 
would be a strong diet for a child only one year old. It would not 
be a suitable diet. It would be a very good diet for a Calciferic 
child, but it would be a wrong diet for a Neurogenic child, 

66. What causes Fibroid Tumors? A, - Lack of alkaline salts. 

67. How can a. Desmogenic man make Sodium act upon the blood, the se- 
cretions, and the functions,- instead of on the ■ tissues? A. ~ 
By supplying it to excess, that is about the only thing that a Des- 
mogenic man can do, unless he wishes to study developmental methods, 
and form habits for developmental purposes. 

63. If the appendix is removed is there a greater tendency to coli- 
tis? A. - There is a greater tendency to germ life. A man who 
has undergone an operation for appendicitis, will never live so 
long, nor ever enjoy as perfect health, as he would otherwise have 
done, if he had kept himself in condition by means of a scientific 
diet. Operations do no one any rood. We should live in such a 
way that we do not need to undergo operations. 

69, How can Sodium be introduced into the fluids, as well as into 
the tissues? A. - Only by supplying Sodium foods to excess. We 
never need to be afraid of supplying too much Sodium, Sodium is 
not contained in foods to excess. 

70. Will honey spoil Sodium in strawberries? A. — Why should you 
put honey on strawberries? Are they not sweet enough without 
honey? If the strawberries are very sour, you should not eat them, 

71, Should a Neurogenic patient eat Sodium-containing foods to the 
exclusion of fats, such as - butter, cream, fat meats, etc.? 

A, - A Neurogenic patient is in the greatest need of Sodium, but he 
should also introduce certain fats. Not such fats that come from 
the cow, but fats that come from other sources. He needs oleic fat, 
cocoanut fat. 

72. Does a lack of Sodium in the blood produce nervous diseases? 
A. - Yes,

LECTURE BOTES . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . SUB JECT-CHLORIN , 

Chlorin is one of the sixteen elements found in man* It is a 
groat germicide. It cleanses and washes the :: cells, and sends 

§erms and inrourity out of the "body. Germs are at work in the bo- 
y by the millions. We are fighting germs, all of the time, and 
they are killing us* This is called disease. There are thous- 
ands of different kinds of germs. This is the reason that Fluor- 
in, Chlorin, and Magnesium have been organized into the human "body 
to help to throw off poisons, germs, and disease. Fluorin kills 
many kinds of germs, including the consumption germ. Chlorin 
kills hundreds of different kinds of germs. When there is gas 
generation, poisons, fever, fatty acid in the stomach, a teaspoon- 
ful of ordinary table salt, taken in distilled water, sometimes is 
very beneficial. Chlorin cleanses the cells until they are puri- 
fied. It does this by a sort of a suction, or pressure. Chlorin 
does the same kind of work in the human body that the laundryman 
and the laundry soap do to clothes. Chlorin kills germs in the 
system, passes them thtough the alimentary tract, out of the body. 
One teaspoonful of ordinary common salt in a little water sends 
germs flying to the earth and space. 

If you feel bloated, uncomfortable, cannot sleep because of gas 
passing into the nerves and brain, all because of impurities and 
toxins at work in tissue and nerves, a teaspoonful of ordinary 
common salt in distilled water, and a hot application on your 
bowels, taken as hot as you can stand it, for about an hour at a 
time, in the evening, after you retire, will put you to sleep in 
perhaps ninety cases out of one hundred. Germs, impurities^ de- 
composed tissue water, are sent out of your system. 

The human system is a sort of a battlefield. Talk about Hinden- 
burgts army; you ought to see the army of germs at work in your 
interior to conquer you. There is a greater battle going on in 
the body, than was carried on between Germany and the Allies. 
Millions of little germs are at work in the body. Chlorin, Sul- 
phur, Fluorin, Magnesium are your artillery and powder. Chlorin 
is a powerful germicidal agent. Ordinary common salt is nothing 
else than Chlorin and Sodium. 

If there is an excels of Chlorife in the system, you are relieved 
by inhaling ammonia. Sometimes, in a Medeic constitution, and in 
the Marasmic constitution, Chlorin consumption may be too great. 
Those people have a suffocating cough, and can hardly get air 
enough. This is a Chlorin symptom. Chlorin combines with Phos- 
phorus. If you are of a mental temperament, or of a Pathetic con- 
stitution, or ITervo-Motive, or Exesthesic, and there is a lack of 
Chlorin in your system, you suffer from a certain kind of neuras- 
thenia, and this neurasthenia no doctor «can cure before you eat 
rightly. 

The brain itself is of such a nature that it must have Chlorin. 
If there is an insufficiency of Chlorin in the body, you will have 
trouble with the nerves and brain* Chlorin has an indirect in- 
fluence upon the brain, not a direct. Phosphorus and Sulphur 
have a direct influence on the brain, but Chlorin has an indirect 
influence. Lack of Chlorin results in poor brain and nerve meta- 
bolism. Under the influence of a Chlorin diet, the nerves grow 
stronger, and the brain is supplied with the nourishment needed. 



Chlorin takes up water like a sponge. It takes up fifty times as 
much water as its own quantity. If you eat foods rich in Chlorin, 
ycu are driving sick water out of your system. If you suffer from 
impurities, and you drink Chlorin-oontaining drinks, or eat Chlorir.- 
containing foods, the decomposed liquid that you have in your sys- 
tem is abstracted from the brain,, nerves, muscles, vital organs., and 
must pass out of your body. You lose in weight Thus, in times 
of hylric obesity, there is nothing better than a dry and high Ohlo- 
rin diet. You can reduce almost a pound a day on such a diet. If 
you get thirsty when you drink salty drittfySj and ycu, then, drink 
hot lemonade, you can reduce that much more., providing you put no 
sugar into the lemonade. when you suffer from hydric obesity you 
should eat foods that are below thirty percent in water, low in 
starch, in sugar, in fat, and rich in Chlorin. 

Mien there is an excess of water in the system, there is a lack of 
Chlorin. liuch water drinking washes the Chlorin and the Sodium out 
of your body. IVhen there is an excess of Chlorin, you are lean* 
A Chinaman is usually a Chlorin mai... t he is also a lean man. You 
seldom see a fat Chinaman. The Chinese are usually lean. Chinese 
are mostly of a Marasmic constitution. 

Nervous prostration, caused by a lack of Chlorin, requires a high 
Chlorin diet. When- there is an excess of water in the system, you 
require a salty dry diet. 

A man who is Marasmic in constitution, should be given a diet rich 
in Magnesium to counteract the excess of Chlorin in case he wants 
to put on flesh. Give such a man the white of egg, either raw or 
boiled. The more albumin you put into bis diet, the more work you 
give the Chlorin that he has in' his system, to do. Ohlorin works 
in albumin. When a patient suffers from albuminuria, give him 
Chlorin foods in abundance, 

The Irish people as a rule are witty, because they have Chlorin in 
excess, and because they are wide-headed. When a man has a wide 
head, a small back head, a low top head, and Chlorin consumption is 
great, that same man is witty and sarcastic. A man ?;ho has Hydro- 
gen, or water to excess in his body, is not/witty. Did you ever 
see a witty Hydripheric or Carboferic nerson? A Chlorin" -lersnn is 
always witty, always full of arguments" and sarcasm. Very" often 
such a person has running eyes, or oyes called sour eyes. Some- 
times the eyelids hang down like bags* He looks sour and angry, 
and people keep away from him* 

Sometimes, the stomach and liver become an alcohol factory, even in 
the Christian. At such a time a rich Chlorin diet is needed. If 
you feel bloated, uncomfortable, full of gas, take a teasDoonful of 
ordinary common salt in distilled water, and you will soon be re- 
lieved. Tins starts the peristaltic movements in your stomach and 
intestines. Then, it is necessary to eat small meals. When you 
suffer from gas m the stomach, or bloating, or indigestion, v u 
must not eat heavy meals. Old ^eoDle, and neo^le who suffer from 
dyspepsia, do not need very much food, as they cannot digest it, nor 
assimilate it. When a man is over fifty-five years of age, he does 
not need very much food, but he needs an eliminative diet? 

When there is Sulphur gas at work in the interior, it is not easy 
to be agreeable, romantic, poetic. a salty diet is very beneficial 
at such a time. The function of 'Ohlorin is to send impurity and

germs out of the system, and to draw off decomposed water. Chlorin 
takes the "bacterial impurities out of the system, and relieves the 
nerves and the brain cells. 

It is difficult to pray properly when there is auto toxin and acid 
in the stomach. It is difficult to talk about joy, peace, heaven, 
reformation, and conversion. So long as there is impurity in the 
interior, around the nerves and in the brain, the Holy Spirit will 
not he influenced very much to live in such an atmosphere. 

Metabolism is up-building and down-tearing processes in the body. 
These two processes are at work in daytime and in night time. We 
are being torn down every minute of the day; we are being built 
ut) every minute of the day also. When we are being torn down fast- 
er than we are being built up, we grow lean, when we are being 
built up faster than we are being torn down, we grow fleshy. In 
some people that apparent fleshiness is nothing but gas; in others 
it is" water; in others it may be nothing but phlegm; and in still 
others it may be nothing but fat, or fatty growths. When we grow 
old, it is better to be lean than fleshy. If a man is fleshy as 
he advances in years, be is likely to die early. 

Chlorin and Potassium are the two elements by means of which the 
peristaltic action takes place, under the influence of psychical 
Impulse* When there is a lack of Chlorin and Potassium in the in- 
testines, we suffer from constipation. Everything is comparative- 
ly still and we suffer from stasis. You cannot sjart that peris- 
taltic action in the stomach by colon irrigation. You must" supply 
the Chlorin and the Potassium elements. A colon injection may 
weaken the bowels, in the course of time, and may even injure the 
bowels. It is better to fall back upon a high Potassium diet. 
Remember the elements, Chlorin, Potassium, Silicon, Magnesium, and 
Fluorin when you suffer from constipation and catarrh. Internal 
baths, or colon irrigations, are likely to weaken the muscles in 
the canal walls of the colon. These muscle fibers may become pa- 
ralyzed by inflation, to such an extent that you may suffer from 
intestinal paralysis, or from a colon ailment that can never be 
cured. If you must take a colon irrigation, use plenty of salt 
water, and let the water run in as slowly as it is possible; even 
then it may do harm. The water should pass along the intestinal 
walls, and does tia&s along tne intestinal wall in times of colon 
irrigation. If it does pass along the intestinal wall, it does 
not effect the hardened excreta; the excreta is there just the 
same after you are through with your colon irrigation. Is it not 
much better to eat foods that are rich in Chlorin, Silicon, Potas- 
sium, and Magnesium? This is the normal way. Then you will 
strengthen the colon and the muscles in the walls of the alimentary 
tract. 

If there is a lack of Chlorin in the muscles, we cannot work so ef- 
ficiently, Go to church and pray, but study diet and your own 
needs as you pray and read your Bible. Use your own brain and com- 
mon sense. If there is a lack of Hydrochloric acid in your 
stomach, how can you digest your food? You sicroly suffer from in- 
digestion, not because you have too much Chlorin^ but because you 
do not have enough.

Germs cannot thrive in the presence of Chlorin. You use ordinary 
salt to preserve meat; use common salt to preserve your own intes- 
tines. 'You can keep meat for a year, or longer, by putting plenty 
of salt on it. This is a good lesson in regard to your stomach, 
when there are many germs anywhere, put a little Chlorin on them, 
and they will feel very uncomfortable.

It is not wise to use an exclusive 

member that there are sixteen chemical elements needed in the body 
In an entire vegetable diet, you cannot get enough of Chlorin. 
There are also other elements that you cannot get very much of. If 
you live on nothing but greens, you get Potassium in excess. 
Potash will take Chlorin and Sodium out of your system, so that 
lastly you will suffer from many ailments. Vegetables, fruit, and 
cereals are lacking in Chlorin. 

Rheumatism is often caused by lack of Chlorin, Sodium, Fluorin, 
Manganese, and llagnesium. You may obtain a temporary relief from 
a masseur when you suffer from rheumatism, but rheumatism will re- 
turn, and you will never be cured until you eat rightly. 

Chlorin has a powerful pressing effect upon +he cells. It presses 
the cells together, so that the cells become compact. The Chlo- 
rin man is a compact man. He is strong. Dempsey is a Chlorin 
man; Carpentier is a Chlorin man. 

We should eat plenty of Chlorin foods, so that we may eliminate im- 
purities and kill germs, or they will otherwise kill us. 

All animals that have an excess of Chlorin are hypnotic. A Chlorin 
man is a great talker, for a time, then he is as mute as a grave. 
If you speak to him, he may answer you in a disagreeable manner. 
Chimamen sit in different parts of the same room, or car, and never 
say a word to each other. 

A dog uses up a great deal of Chlorin. The dog is slavish in his 
devotion towards his master. The Chlorin man is simila,r to a dog, 
in this resj)ect. A dog sleeps with one eye open and the other eye 
closed; he can hea.r with one ear while he sleeps with the other. 
This is also the case with the Chlorin man. He is ah excellent 
watchman. If you want a first-class watchman, hire a Chlorin man. 
Such. a man is usually wide-headed. The more wide-headed a man is, 
or an animal, the more Chlorin he utilizes for the metabolic func- 
tions. Such a man, or animal, suffers from liver ailments, in 
the course of time. Such an animal, or man, is lean; and a woman 
of this temperament is also lean. She knows everything that goes 
on in the neighborhood; she is talking about everybody; she is a 
sort of a neighborhood directory. The Chlorin man has a wonder- 
ful memory for evil; that is also the naturo of the dog. If you. 
injure a man like that, he never forgets it and never forgives it. 
If you injure a dog, that dog never forgets you, and never forgives 
you. VJhen a man is wide-headed, and Chlorin consumption is exces- 
sive, and this man is a journalist, he is always a sensationalist. 
His mind runs fco yellow journalism. 

If you fall in love with such a man, he loves you ofcie minute, and 
throws you out through a window the next. VJhen Chlorin consump-

his blood. He may marry a lady and leave her, within only a few 
days, to find another affinity. 

Injure a Chlorin man, and he may come back in five or ten years to 
fight. 

The faculties of observation are never active in a Chlorin man, 
whether they are largo in the brain or not. The imaginative fa- 
culties are always more active in a Chlorin man. At times, such a 
man does not know just where he is, nor what is taking place around 
him. He is in a sort of hypnotic dream, occasionally. He can, 
however, watch evil deeds, and evil people. He sees everything 
that is bad, and imagines bad things also. A Chlorin man likes 
stimulants, and has a leaning towards morphine habits and drinking. 
Chlorin people are always in a rash. 

When there is a lack of Chlorin in the spleen, there is tension in 
the spleen. The spleen cannot function well before it is well sup- 
plied with Chlorin." If you tell such a patient to hold out his 
tongue, his tongue seems to stick in his mouth, and is so large 
that it fills his entire mouth. If you tell a Phosphorus patient 
to hold out his tongue, he sticks it out all the way, and it is 
long, slender, and small. 

V.hen you lack Chlorin, you suffer from pyorrhea. TThen your doctor 
may tell you to go to the dentist and have your teeth plucked out; 
and the osteopath gives you treatments for spinal lesion. "*hen 
Chlorin is lacking, the functions are disturbed, A Chlorin pa- 
tient may suffer from toothache while out in the cold. 



You cannot perspire without using up Chlorin. 
spire you lack Chlorin, Sodium, and Sulphur. 



VJhen you cannot per- 



The more you v/ork, the more you take Chlorin out of the system. 
VJhen a man works hard and perspires, Chlorin is passing out of his 
body very rapidly, through the skin ; also through the urine. V.hen 
you use your brain very much, you use up Chlorin, Phosphorus and 
Sulphur, as may be demonstrated in the laboratory, for such ele- 
ments always appear in the urine. In times of heavy brain-work, 
this is especially true in regard to Phosphorus* At such a time, 
you nust supply those elements by eating such foods that contain 
those elements. You must know what you are eating. Foods that 
are good for you now, may not be good for you a year from now. 

If you suffer from auto-intoxication, you are in the greatest need 
of Chlorin, Potassium, Magnesium and F'iucrin. 

The Calc.iferic and Isogenic should eat foods that are rich in So- 
dium to prevent Calcic hardening. 

V.hen people lack Chlorin they crave sympathy. This is especially 
true in regard to women. If you give them sympathy at such a time, 
they become fussy, and may probably refuse the sympathy, yet they 
crave for it.

VJhen we speak of disease tendencies in Chlorin people, we have refer- 
ence to Chlorin-excess symptoms and diseases 9 When Chlorin is being 
consumed excessively, it results in Chlorin starvation in the "body, 
especially in the blood, and in the secretions* There are certain 
compound elements needed by the tissues of the heart, i.e., Sodium 
Chlorid, Potassium Chlorid, and Calcium Phosphate. They are the 
heart salts, or the tissue salts* If you add Iron you have all the 
important blood salts, and also tissue salts, needed by the tissues. 
When any of these compounds are lacking, there will be heart disease, 
or a tendency to palpitation, or a tendency to contraction in the 
heart nerves, or in "the heart muscles. When I was in a laboratory 
once, we took a rabbitt's heart that had not beat for four hours, and 
put it into a solution made of those very heart salts, and the heart 
beat far seventy-two hours, before it stopped completely. This 
proved to us that the heart and its function depends also upon chem- 
ical food salts. Those food salts must be supplied at all times, 
otherwise the heart action is not so energetic, nor so regular. 

If you suffer from heart disease, it may be due, possibly, to a lack 
of those tissue salts* Do you think it v;ouId be wise for you to 
drug yourself with digitalis at such a time? Do you not think that 
you would die? " But if you supply those foods that contain Sodium 
Chlorid, Potassium Chlorid, and Calcium Phosphate, in proper combi- 
nation, you would overcome your heart disease. Your heart cannot 
stop so long as they are supplied* That is one way of keeping your 
heart going, viz. by chemical means. Even after you are dead, it 
is possible to start your heart by keeping it in a solution made of 
those salts, in the proper combination. 

Iron, or lack of the same, also excess of the same, has its erup- 
tions; Potassium has its eruptions, so does Chlorin, Sodium, and' 
also certain poisons, as, for instance, the lledeic man with his poi- 
sons, has his eruptions. Eruptions are different in kind. In' 
the Chlorin patient the mouth is almost dark red from eruptions, when 
there is an absolute lack of Chlorin in the tissues, or in the blood, 
or in the secretions. He has his eruption on the arms, on the 
chest, on the neck, and on the mouth. 

Chlorin patients breathe all the way from sixteen to thirty-eight 
respirations a minute. I do not know whether I would call that nbr- 
mal, because I have found that the stronger a man is, the more air 
he takes into his system, and the slower are his respirations. Some 
men take eight, five, even three respirations of air a minute* . I 
have found that very strong men take only three respirations a min- 
ute. The Chlorin patient takes from sixteen up to thirty-eight re- 
spirations a minute* Therefore., we know when Chlorin is lacking, by 
the respirations being quick and weak. When the Chlorin -natient 
inhales air, it seems to him, and to others also, as if his lungs are 
too small; it seems that the linings of the lungs do not nermit exnan- 
sion of the lungs. Hence, the breathing of the Chlorin natient 
" catches". 

We hear a great deal about proteins, and we are told that they give 
us strength. They are called the albuminoids* When nrotein is 
digested in the human system? it is called -oroteid* Foods contain 
protein, but after protein shall have been digested, and -nroperly 
prepared in the body, it is called proteid, in physiology", 'if you 



lack the^ Chlorin element, or if there is an excess of Chlorid "it is 



important that you fall back upon a diet that supplies the Chlorin

element, according to your needs. And if Chlorin-consumption is 
excessive, so that you suffer from Chi or in-Hung er, you should fall 
back upon a low protein diet, or upon a diet that contains about 
one and one-half percent of protein. Fall back upon a vegetable 
protein diet. Animal protein is more difficult to digest and 
handle. Heat, or protein from the steer, is difficult to digest. 
When Chlorin-consumption is too great, you suffer from weakness of 
some kind, and principally because you cannot digest, utilize, and 
assimilate the protein element. 

When protein metabolism is low, you should fall back upon a low 
protein diet. You should introduce Chlorin-containing food to a 
greater extent. You know when you have ea.ten too much protein, 
because you feel heavy, dull, and stupid after eating. When you 
feel weak, and you do not know what to do; when you have no ambi- 
tion ; you may be sure that protein metabolism is low. Again, 
when you have trouble with your stomach; when you cannot digest 
your food, you suffer from low protein metabolism. The stomach 
must digest food material for the muscles, and when the stomach 
cannot digest protein, the muscles suffer. Hence, also, low pro- 
tein digestion results in muscular prostration. 

Excitable people run so low in Chlorin that the throat contracts 
to such an extent that the voice gets be^^ond control. The slight- 
est excitement, in the Nervi-liotive people, affects the voice. You 
cannot sing so well when 'there is a lack of Chlorin. See that you 
have plenty of Chlorin in your system before you take a course in 
voice culture; else, the one who teaches, or trains you in voice 
culture, cannot develop your voice. You should remember that 
Chlorin increases the strength of the voice. 

A function of Chlorin is to work in albumin. If there is a lack 
of Chlorin, it results in albuminuria. When we speak of Chlorin 
people, or Chlorin patients, we have reference to that constitu- 
tion in which Chlorin-consumption is excessive. A Chlorin pa- 
tient is usually interested in sanitary work. Anything dirty oft- 
en appeals to him. He may not be cleanly himself, in the sense 
of dress, but he is cleanly in habits. He likes to cut in a ca- 
daver; he usually makes a good surgeon. If you have strong 
Ideality, you will never be much interested in surgery. If you 
are of an Exesthesic constitution, or if you are of a Nervi-LIotive 
constitution, you will not be interested in surgery. If you are 
of a Nitropheric constitution, you will not be interested in sur- 
gery, nor should you take up surgery; become a Homeopath, or an 
Osteopath, or an Idealistic doctor, i.e.- one who merely gives 
advice. 

Heavy work in the sunshine, uses up the Chlorin element in your 
body. In a hot, warm country, where there is a great deal of 
Iron in the soil, heat is oppressive, and the Chlorin element is 
broken dorm, in connection with the Sodium element. A vegetable 
diet breaks down Chlorin, also Sodium. If you live exclusively on 
a vegetable diet, you will get so much Sulphur into your body that,. 
lastly, you are likely to spread an o'dor about you like a cabbage 
patch. Cabbage is a Sulphur plant; Onions are Sulphur plants; 



F-42 

Radishes are Sulphur plants. In times of pneumonia, Chlorin is pre- 
cipitated and appears' in the urine. This is also true in times of 
"Flu". You can* never build strong joints without a heavy Chlorin 
diet, nor without Sodium. You need those elements for the "building 
of joints. -It is Chlorin principally that builds joints. 

If absolute starvation of Chlorin prevails in your system, you are 
likely to die of albuminuria. When you suffer from albuminuria, go 
to a doctor who believes in diet, a doctor who knows the value of 
Chlorin, a doctor who knov/s which foods contain Chlorin. Old ma- 
terial must be taken out of the tissues, and new material supplied. 
If there is a lack of Sodium Ohio rid, and Potassiun Chlorid, the old 
material cannot be taken out of the body, and new material cannot be 
supplied, simply because old material is in the way. This results 
in tissue congestion. You may go to a masseur, and he may stir up 
or loosen up the dead stuff in your tissues, for the time being, and 
you may feel well for about one hour or more, and then, 37-ou feel as 
bad as ever. when there is a lack of Chlorin, dead material is not 
well eliminated, Chlorin is, so to speak, the laundryman in the 
body. It helps to remove dead material from the body. 

If there is an insufficiency of Sodium Chlorid in the system, or in 
the blood, the red corpuscles cannot maintain their shape, nor can 
they travel forward so actively as they otherwise would. They can- 
not move forward with the same power. They do not have sufficient 
of kinetic energy. They cannot carry as much Oxygen as is neces- 
sary. That is the reason that the Almighty put those important 
food salts into the body, so that the body may be supplied with Oxy- 
gen, and with all of those powers that are so essential for perfect 
self-efficiency, in all the functions, in habits, in studies, and 
otherwise. This is also the reason why we should study all of 
those chemical elements, both as we find them in the body, and as we 
find them in food. We should study the Almighty^ laws of life, 
and introduce them into our every-day action, thought, and studies. 
We should make an attempt to study the scheme of life, in its rela- 
tion to food, diet and efficiency. 

Study the living man, not the dead man. After a man is dead, he is 
dead. Then, there is no life, no functioning; the blood is not the 
same, the secretions are not the same, We should know also that, 
when we wish to cure a living man, we should study a living man, and 
not a cadaver. We should find out what is needed in the normal man.: 
how much Chlorin is needed, and where it is needed, and why it is ! 
needed, Chlorin is found almost everywhere in the body. It is 
found in the tissues to the extent of one and three-quarter pounds. 
Chlorin is needed for memorizing, for the nerves, bones, tissues, for 
the sexual function, the generative function, the bile, in order to 
carry out the bile function. It is needed in the joints above all 
things. Bones cannot be built without Chlorin, If you become pas- 
sionate, you are burning up Chlorin, also Iron, If you want perfect 
children it is more important to fall back upon Clilorin-containing 
foods, than it is to study eugenics written by great authorities. 
You will have better offspring if you have all of the normal food 
salts needed in your body. When you cry, you use up Chlorin. Tears 
are always salty; perspiration is salty. In fact, Chlorin is need- 
ed almost everywhere in the body. 

It does not matter so much how •much water there is in a certain food, 
how much protein, how muGh fat, how much Carbohydrates. It is

exceedingly important to know how much of the various organo-metal- 
lic salts you are supplying in your every-day diet* When the 
chemist has analyzed^ or, perhaps, burned up everything there is 
in a certain food, the ash* is left. It is' the ash that it is 
more important to study* If you wish to cure a sick man, it is 
the ash that cures. In speaking of all these salts, it should be 
remembered that they always appear as Oxides, as - Sodium-Oxide, 
etc. We should know in which foods we can find those salts. We 
should know what those salts are needed for, how they may be sup- 
plied, especially to a sick man. 

V/e should study the ash contents of food. The Almighty put these 
ash contents into the foods and into the body, because He* knew 
that they are needed in the scheme of life. Burn up the drugs in 
your drug store, especially the poisonous drugs, if you pi ease, but 
study the scheme of the Almighty. Christian Science may be an 
excellent doctrine, but it cannot cure you when you are sick from 
a lack of certain salts. When the Christian Scientist lacks 
these important tissue salts, blood salts, nerve salts, he, also, 
is sick, however much he prays; however holy he may be; or however 
much he may deny disease and death. Even Ilrs. Eddy is dead, with 
all her wise teachings. It is perfectly true that her teachings 
are noble, great, good; but it is also true that she neglected the 
study of that material which goes into man, and which builds a 
more perfect body, cleaner blood, and a more purified soul* If 
v/e follow the scheme of the Almighty, we can keep ourselves well, 
and strong, and vigorous, v/hen v/e are old; v/e can live longer, 
and die nobler. 

Sometimes it seems that sickness is a sin. So long as we need 
asylums for the insane, and those asylums are full of insane peo- 
ple, doctors have not done their duty. So long as we need hospi- 
tals, doctors have not done their duty. So long as we have jails 
and criminals, ministers have not done their duty. If you eat 
rightly, think rightly, live rightly, and study the scheme of the 
Almighty, there is no need of jails, hospitals, sanitariums, nor 
asylums. Then, there is also less need* of undertakers and 
grave-diggers • 

When we are studying the ash, say, of carrots; v/e say carrots con- 
tain eight percent Silicon. That means - the carrots contain, in 
their ash content, eight percent of Silicon. Suppose we find 
about 1.74 percent of ash in goat's milk, and we find that of 
these salts, found in goafs milk, thirty-one percent is Chlorin, 
it simply means -' that thirty -one percent of the ash is Chlorin. 
Ox blood, of its .85 percent of ash, we find about thirty-five 
percent of Chlorin. We learn from such chemical analyses that 
goat's milk contains a higher percent of Chlorin than ox blood. 
The comparative percent of goat's milk and goat's cheese is a great 
great deal higher than the comparative percent of ox blood. 

The Vitamines are found in abundance in fresh goat's milfc, but in 
boiled goat's milk you do not find the Vitamines, for the boiling 
kills them. The Vitamines are always in the seeds of food. 
Anything that grows, as, for instance, a chicken, or spinach, or 



F-44 

oarrots, or whatever else it may "be that grows, grows because it con- 
tains the Vitamines. The Vitamines are in the germ. So long as ■ 
you are feeding your patient boiled food, fried food, you are not 
giving him the Vitamines. You are feeding him dead food, and, there- 
fore, you cannot cure him. The Vitamines constitute the living 
principle in food. There are no Vitamines in spinach. The Vita- 
mines are in the seed of the spinach. In goat's milk you find Vi- 
tamines in abundance. You find the Vitamines in blood, but boil the 
blood, and it contains no Vitamines. If you boil a dozen of eggs, 
and you set a hen on those eggs - Hot; many chicks do you think you 
id.ll get? This ought to be a good lesson for those who are talk- 
ing learnedly about Vitamines. The Vitamines are always in the 
germ. . 

Eo food contains so much salt as whey cheese made from goat's milk 
whey, or even from goat's milk. It is better to eat goat's milk 
fresh. If you cannot get goat's milk fresh, you can get goat's 
milk containing the blood salts, in the form of evaporated goat's 
milk. Evaporated goat's milk contains the blood salts and the 
heart salts. This is also true in regard to goat's cheese. It is 
true in regard to goat's milk whey cheese. Goat's milk is nearer 
to human milk. 

FOOD, A1TALYSI S EXPLAINED ; 

SV/ISS CHEESE - made of goat*s milk is high in ash content. Goat's 
milk is higher in ash content than other milk. It is more valuable 
when it is a question of blood and tissue salts. Goat's milk is 
one of the best foods you can purchase when it is a question of 
blood salts and tissue salts. This is also true in regard to 
goat's milk cheese, and goat's milk whey cheese. The cc^sunptive 
should live in the hills of California, and live on a goat's milk 
diet. Any milk that you boil or heat does not contain the Vitamines, 
nor the Fluorin. If you heat cow's milk, you drive out the Fluorin. 
So soon as the heat temperature rises above one hundred and thirty 
degrees Fahrenheit, the Fluorin element evaporates, or it is slowly 
dissipated. If milk is heated "slowly, you can heat it as high as 
one hundred and seventy- two before Fluorin dissipates. Fluorin is 
an element that cannot stand high and sudden heat. Pasteurized 
milk, we are told, contains less germs; but it contains less of the 
Vitamines, also. If you pasteurize milk, you get dead milk. Ho re- 
over, pasteurization of milk disturbs the salts in the milk. I am 
not sure if it would not be as well to drink the milk as it comes 
from the cow, germs and all, as to drink pasteurized milk. If you 
drink fresh milk from the cow you get the Vitamines, and you can 
fight the germs, because you will have more vitality. Some germs 
cannot be killed by a temperature of 172° Fahrenheit, and if you 
boil goat's milk, you get the milk minus the Fluorin. You cannot 
build good, solid tissue without Fluorin, Calcium, Chlorin, and 
other salts. 

SALT - Ordinary table salt, contains 40% of Sodium, and GOfo of 
Chlorin. If inorganic salt should pass into your blood, it would, 
possibly, result in hardening of the" arterial walls. It is, how- 
ever, not easy to introduce ordinary common salt into your arteries 
and veins, for the lacteal s refuse that which is inorganic. The 
lacteal s have selective and rejective power, and refuse rock salt. 
If there is a great deal of gas generation going on in your stomach, 
after eating fatty foods, there is nothing better than a drink made

of distilled water and about a teaspoonful of ordinary common salt, 
If you suffer from heart burn, drink ordinary common salt and dis- 
tilled water. 

OX BLOOD, CALF BLOOD, CHICKEN BLOOD - could easily be assimilated, 
if introduced into your diet. The blood is the cleanest part cf 
all the secretions; which is also true in regard to milk. Milk 
and blood are the cleanest and purest products we can get. The 
germs we are told about, and that you see in milk, do not come from 
the interior of the cow but from the outside, from the atmosphere 
in the stable, from the dirty milkman, and from his dirty bottles. 
When a germ gets into warm milk, it grows rapidly. We should not 
drink milk by itself. 

SAUER-KRAUT - is a very good food. I have seen patients who could 
not digest, nor tcl:erate any other kind of food. The Germans have 
a superior way of making sauer-kraut. Sauer-kraut contains or- 
ganic Chlorin, also inorganic Chlorin. 

HAM - should be broiled, but it does not require a great deal of 
broiling. 

COCOANUT - is one of the best foods that we can get. We should, 
however, not eat canned cocoanut, for it is much better to get the 
cocoanut in its fresh state. Cocoanut contains myristic acid, 
which is a fatty substance of great value to nerves and brain. If 
you are nervous, eat cocoanut. If you are small -chested, eat co- 
coanut. Cocoanut builds up your chest, if you breathe fresh air 
in abundance. There is no food so valuable to the nerves and to 
the lungs, but do not patronize manufacturers who are not giving 
you a natural product. I would advise you to patronize nature as 
much as possible. Canned foods are never so gbod as foods that 
come directly from nature. It may be that some canned foods are 
good during the winter season. We cannot get fresh foods during 
the winter. 

When you suffer from Cerebral neurasthenia, eat cocoanut in con- 
junction with foods that are rich in Potassium Phosphate. 

FISH - is not a desirable blood-building food. It is good food 
for the brain and nerves, because it contains that important nerve 
fat, lecithin. Some fish contain cancer germs. Fish is a good 
food, first, because it contains lecithin; secondly, because of the 
protein it contains; thirdly, because of the ash. 

ASPARAGUS - is usually cooked* Anything that is cooked is dead 
food. Nearly all food we eat in its fresh state, containing the 
seed, contains the vital principle. Be sure to crush the seeds 
when you eat foods containing seeds, so tbat you may masticate and 
utilize the Vitamines in the seeds. If you cannot masticate and 
digest the seeds, you cannot utilize the Vitamines* 



F-46 

CABBAGE -is "better in the form of sauerkraut. If you have a 
weak stomach, and you eat cabbage in its raw state, you are like*, 
ly to suffer from gas generation. If you eat boiled cabbage you 
will generate so much gas that you will become uncomfortable. 
Red cabbage is better than white cabbage. Red cabbage contains 
:nore Chlorin than white cabbage. Red cabbage should be eaten in 
the form of cold slaw. 

CARROTS - you cannot find a better food than carrots, whether you 
are sick, or well; whether your digestion is weak or strong, whether 
you need Chlorin, Sodium, or Silicon, or some other salt; you alv^ays 
find those salts in carrots. If you need sugar you find it in car- 
rots;, if you need vegetable proteins to a small degree, you find it 
in carrots. The protein that you find in carrots is easily digest- 
ed and assimilated. You can eat carrots raw or boiled, but it is 
preferable that you eat carrots raw. There is always some kind of 
salt that you may need, and this salt you can more likely find in 
carrots. 

CUCUlffiERS - There is a great deal of Sulphur in cucumbers. It is 
the most healing vegetable that you can find. There is nothing so 
good for the blood, or for blood heat, or for congestion; as Cucum- 
bers. If, however, you eat too much Cucumbers, the extra part of 
the Cucumbers that you cannot digest, and appropriate will be con- 
verted into gas. If there is a tendency to necrosis, eat cucumbers. 

EGG YOLK - is the nearest substance to the brain. Egg Yolk, the 
brain, and the generative substance, are comparatively the same, 
from a chemical viewpoint. Excitable people, insane people, peo- 
ple who have lost their sexuality, should eat plenty of raw egg 
yolk, in an alkaline form. People who want to improve their com- 
plexion should use egg yolk. People who want to improve their 
hair, should use egg yolk preparations, or hair-wash made of claret 
and egg yolk. This makes an excellent hair-7/ash. 

LENTILS - are nutritious. Most people do not know much about len- 
tils. We cannot eat lentils raw; they must be cooked. Do not eat 
more than two tablespoonsful of lentils; if you are sickly, do not 
eat more than three teaspoonsful. 

SPINACH - contains all the salts needed in your body, providing you 
do not over-cook the spinach; and providing you do not throw the 
spinach juice into the sink. 

IT ever eat too many radishes at one meal, or you will suffer from 
gas the next day. Carrots, raw spinach, goat*s cheese and almond 
nuts are among the very best foods for the purpose of obtaining 
vegetable salts for your tissues. 

Dishes made from white flour, do not contain the Vitamines. By 
right you should not eat, preparations made from white flour. 

QUESTIONS. AITD ANSWERS t 

1. Are there any foods that will help to eliminate pus from the sys- 
tem? A. - Foods that are very rich in Chlorin will help to elim- 
inate pus from the system.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS : (Continued) 

2. Name cancer- carrying fish and foods? A. - Ordinary common 
water, lake water, trout, salmon, white fish, are likely to carry 
the cancer germ. There are fifteen different varieties of fish 
that carry cancer germs, and almost all waters, with the exception 
of distilled water, are likely to carry cancer germs. You may 
drink ordinary water for years, and not get any cancer germs, "but 
all at once, you ma,y drink a glass of water that contains, perhaps, 
thousands of cancer germs. Of course, if you have all of those 
salts in your system, in your blood, in your secretions, in your 
tissues, in your nerves, that protect you from cancer germs, the 
cancer germs cannot get hold of you; you are protected; you are 
immune. But if you lack some of those important salts, you are 
in danger. The better thing to do is to leave alone fish and wa- 
ter that contain cancer germs. 

5. What affect do the Vitamines have on the chemical composition 
of foods? A. - They are forever trying to establish processes 
of germination, whether it be in the soil of the earth, or in the 
soil of man, or in any other soil, where germination processes 
take place. They have a great affect upon the chemical composi- 
tion of foods. If there were no Vitamines in food at any time, 
foods could not be worked up into living tissue. If there were 
no Vitamines in the food it would be impossible to build a vigor- 
ous sexual system. The Vitamines are the life-principles. They 
are taken up by the sexual system and utilized, for purposes of 
reproduction. If food has been boiled, that same food, or seed, 
can never germinate. If an egg has been boiled, the hen is help- 
less. If any seed has been boiled, or fried, or baked, it can 
produce nothing. It is dead. 

4. Do ox-tails contain Chlorin? A. - Yes. 

5. When a man suffers from Chlorin excess, should he eat freely of 
Chlbrin-containing foods in connection with a high protein diet? 
A. - No. A sick nan should not have a high protein diet. If 
you have Chlorin to excess, omit Chlorin-containing foods. If 
Chlorin consumption is great, eat Chlorin- containing foods in 
abundance; also the Vitamines. 

6. What are some of the foods that contain the Heart Salts? A. - 
Goat's milk, evaporated or fresh; Goat's cheese, goat's milk whey 
cheese, carrots, spinach. 

7. What difference does it make if there is a high ash content, or 
a low ash content? A. - If the ash content is low, it is low; 
and if it is high, it is high. Any food that has a high ash con- 
tent, becomes more valuable to the human body, because it is more 
easy of digestion. And if that same food is rich in the Vitaminss 5 
it becomes doubly valuable to the human body, because it can be me- 
tabolized, 

8. If a glass of distilled water, with a table spoonful, or a tea- 
spoonful of salt, is good for one who lacks Sodium Chlorid, when 
is it best to take such a drink, morning or night? A, - We do 



F-48 

not recommend ordinary common salt, except for purposes of purifica- 
tion of the colon, and for the exodus of germs through the alimenta- 
ry tract. But if there is a lack of Sodium Chlorid in the "blood 
and in the tissues, you must fall bade upon foods that are rich in 
Sodium Chlorid, or in those very organic salts that are lacking in 
the tissues and in the "blood, 

9. Why can we not get Chlorin from the same source as animals do? 
Yrfhy is it necessary to eat meat in order to obtain Chlorin? A- - 
Where do the animals get their Chlorin? Do you find Chlorin in 
hay? Do you find it in grass? Is it not a fact, that animals do 
not get enough of Chlorin from grass and hay, and is it not because 
of this very deficiency of Chlorin in grass and hay, that the wise 
farmer gives animals rock salt? This is how animals get Chlorin - 
man must supply the Chlorin to animals. Animals get inorganic 
Chlorin, but it is possible for us to get organic Chlorin in the 
form of milk, ham, meat, blood, fish, and other food material. If 
you take meat to the laboratory you find that it contains a high 
percent of Chlorin. If you take grass to the laboratory « How much 
Chlorin do you find? 

10. Do green peas contain Chlorin? A« - Yes, to a small extent. 
But the" percent is so small that peas could not be called a 
Chlorin-containing food. 

11» Do juices pressed out from carrots, spinach, celery, etc..^ con- 
tain all of the blood salts you need? A. - Those juices contain 
salts, but not all the salts that we need* Hor do they contain 
salts in the proportion that is needed in the bouy. 

12. what food elements are needed in arthritis deformans? A* - 
If you suffer from arthritis deformans you have simply waited too 
long. You are likely to die with it. Arthritis deformans means - 
absolute Sodium-hunger, especially if it has continued for a long, 
long time. If the tissue salts are lacking in your tissues, you 
are likely to suffer from arthritis deformans and, so long as 
those salts are lacking, no doctor can cure you. 

13. Y/ould salt and water be good for a neurogenic who suffers from 
sleeplessness at night? Would it be well to drink salty drinks at 
night? Would it be possible for a Neurogenic to drink salty water 
to excess? A. - I think that salty drinks, made of ordinary com- 
mon salt and water, would not do a neurogenic any good. It is pos- 
sible for a Neurogenic to drink salty drinks to excess. Remember 
that, if the neurogenic is in need of salt, or Chlorin, he requires 
organic Chlorin; it is organic Chlorin that acts upon albumin, upon 
brain, nerves, secretions, skin, and blood. 

14. Are pigs poisonous, and should people eat pork? Is not a pig 
a Chlorin-excess animal, and for this reason poisonous? A. - I 
never heard that any chemist found any poison in the tissues of a 
pig, nor in pork. It may be perfectly true that pork contains 
substances that are not favorable, but this is also true in regard 
to cabbage, barley, wheat, or almost any food that we may eat. The 
pig is not a Chlorin-excess animal. You could- eat ham every day in 
the year and never suffer from any kind of sickness, if you eat it 
in proper combinations, and if you do not eat it to excess.

^ggSTIOITS AND ANSY/ERS ; (Continued) 

15. Is there a possibility of ills of long standing "being cured 
through diet? A. - Yes. It is possible to eat foods, and 
drink drinks of a curative nature, according to the needs of your 
own constitution, until your chronic ailment disappears. Diet 
cannot do everything, but it is important e,s a curative agent. 
That doctor who pays no attention to diet, is not a very desirable 
doctor. You had better not solicit his services* 

16. Should the seeds of raisins be chewed and consumed? Most 
raisins are seeded before they reach the consumer. Ae - Yes. 
Because you find the Vitamines in the seeds, but you should masti- 
cate them well. Seedless raisins do not contain the Vitamines. 

17. Is it not necessary to give one acid to counteract another 
acid in the system? A. - Yes. But that acid should be citric 
acid, or else formic acid, in food form. Y/e must not give a man 
all sorts of acids, and expect the man to improve. Formic acid, 
and citric acid, in food form, have a. neutralizing effect upon 
other acids. 

18. Can appendicitis be cured by diet? A. - Yes, if it has not 
gone too far. If the appendix is decomposed, the best thing to 
do is to scrape it out. 

19. Y/hat is meant by a warm diet, and by a cold diet? A. - A 
warm diet consists of warm foods, hot drinks, stimulating tonics, 
invigorating food salts, heat-producing food substances. A cold 
diet is the very opposite of a warm diet. 

20. Can parents transmit any constitution they wish to their off- 
spring at will? A. - It would be possible for the parents to 
produce almost any child within their scope of transmission, and 
perhaps almost any constitution, especially if the parents are 
distant affinities. In fact, when parents are distant affinities, 
we find every variety of types, even a conglomeration of children, 
of different constitutions, notwithstanding the fact that those 
very parents had no will in the matter. It should be remembered 
that, parents, as a general rule, never make any effort to endow 
offspring^ or throw any control over the syngenetic act. 

21. Y/hen there is itching in the palm of the hand, and in the sole 
of the feet, persistently, what chemical symptom may this be? 

A. - Lack of Potassium salt in the tissues; lack of Sulphur in the 
tissues; lack of Chlorin in the tissues, or in the nerves, may re- 
sult in itching of some kind, though a different element has a 
different itch. 

22. Y/hy may a certain portion of the body be cold while the rest 
of the body -is warm? A. - Because of lack of Chlorin, or, per- 
haps, Silicon. 

2S. Y/hat causes high blood pressure? How can it be cured? 

A. - There are many things that may cause high blood pressure, as, 

for instance, high nerve pressure, or intracranial pressure, or 



F-50 •--.*" 

lack of the blood salts, or lack of the tissue salts, or an excess 
of Oxygen, or excess of emotion, or excess of "blood in the brain, or 
an excess of watery fluids in the body, or an excess of blood in the 
arteries and veins, or an excess of blood heat. Running too rapid- 
ly is likely to give rise to high blood pressure for the time being. 
In fact, there are many causes of blood pressure. To cure high 
blood pressure, we must first remove the cause. 

24. Is it not true that pre-natal habits of living and eating have 
an effect upon the child, especially before conception? A. - 
Yes. Pre-natal habits, before conception, and the state of the 
mind of the parent at the time of conception, determine the nature 
of the child. After the child is conceived, you have no power over 
it. Five minutes before conception is worth fifty 3rears bf train- 
ing after the child is born. 

25. Is there any cure for Tabes-Dorsalis, or is there any cure for 
Syphilis? A. - Ho, only in the way of up-building. 

26. How do you account for the following: In a family of six 
children, four girls and two boys, all the girls were born blind, 
but the boys see perfectly. A. - The girls take after the father 
and must suffer for the father's sins, which, in this case, are r '. 
visited upon the girls. The father had some kind of taint in his 
system. Fathers must be careful. They cannot soy/ wild oats and 
expect to give rise to perfect children. 

27. If there is nothing in heredity, why do syphilitic parents pro- 
duce such crippled offspring? A* - Syphilis is not heredity. 
Syphilis is a disease that affects every nerve, every cell, every 
tissue of the man, or of the wonian. Syphilis is a disease, and 
does not prove heredity, it simply shows that the generative sub- 
stance was diseased. 



28. YJhat is the difference between the Vitamines and ash content? 
A. - If you burn up a piece of wood what have you left in the aeh 
pot? A few ashes, have you not? This is the ash, or the ash con- 
tents of that wood which you burned. If you burn up a certain food, 
and you have a certain ash left, this is the ash content of that 
food. The Vitamines are the vital principles in a plant, or in the 
seeds, or in the milk, or in a grain of wheat. The Vitamines is 
the germ, or the embryo; it is the power of the young plant to take 
life to itself, to grow and thrive. Every grain of wheat has a 
germ, and this germ contains the Vitamines. This germ represents 
about one and one-half percent of the whole grain in a grain of 
wheat; it is called the germ* 

29. What is the difference between the various acids of the body? 

A. - One acid is different than another acid. Sulphur acid is dif- 
ferent than carbonic acid; and carbonic acid is different than citric 
acid; citric acid is different than formic acid; myristic acid is not 
the same kind of acid as some one, or more than one, of the fatty 
acids. There are many different kinds of acids in the body, and 
each acid has its own nature and its own characteristics. 

30. In what way will Chi or in cure Albuminuria? A. - Chlorin works 
in the tissues. It works in albumin. It increases tissue metabo- 
lism, or albumin metabolism*

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ; (Continued) 

51. Does a man who lives on vegetables and fruit, get enough of 
Chlorin, if he is vigorous? A. - ITo. Upon a vegetable and 
fruit diet it is simply impossible to get enough of Chlorin for 
any man, whether he be healthy or sickly. If a man is healthy, 
and lives on a vegetable and fruit diet for many years, he will, 
eventually, become sick. A healthy man, however, is able to 
utilize all the Chlorin in the food that is obtainable. 

32. Why do some, people crave ordinary common salt; they want every- 
thing so salty that no one else can eat it? A. - One reason 

is, because there is an excess of Chlorin-consumption. They need 
it, and do not know where to obtain Chlorin. Another reason is 
that the albumin is not doing its work, because of lack of other 
salts, or because there is a lack of Chlorin salts. Still 
another reason may be, perhaps, a tendency to pus formation 
throughout. the system, as, for instance, in a tubercular man. 

33. IThy should a nursing baby have constipation? Is it lack of 
Chlorin? A. - Perhaps, and perhaps not. Mothers are often 
too generous to their babies. They give them too much food, or, 
perhaps, the wrong kind of food without knowing it. VJhen the 
milk, which the baby gets from the mother contains acid, that baby 
is likely to suffer from acidity, vomiting, constipation, gas 
generation. If there is acid or gas in the stomach, the baby 
will suffer from constipation, the same as we would suffer from 
constipation if we suffer from acid formation and gas generation. 
And if the mother stuffs the baby, the baby will suffer from con- 
stipation and stasis, the same as v/e would suffer from constipa- 
tion, if we were to eat food in excess. The mother* s milk may 
not contain enough of the alkaline salt; it may not contain 
enough of Chlorin. 

34. Can you, by prescribing too much organic Chlorin in Bright* s 
disease, increase the ailment, and thereby prevent a cure? 

A» - In times of Bright 's disease organic Chlorin is needed. A 
man who suffers from Bright f s disease, can never get enough of 
organic Chlorin. We must supply Chlorin in abundance to such a 
patient, or he will not improve* It is important to cut out the 
albumin, until the system reaches a point of albumin toleration 
again. 

* 

35. What is the difference between Sodium Chlorid, and Chlorid of 
Sodium? A. - The difference is grammatical only. It is sim- 
ply ordinary, common salt* 

36. Is Chlorin, found in common table salt, inorganic; and will 
this have the same effect as organic Chlorin? A. - Inorganic 
Chlorin passes through the alimentary tract, mainly. If you in- 
troduce inorganic Chlorin into the arteries, you are interfering 
with the scheme of nature, and you will eventually suffer. If 
you give your lacteal s an opportunity, you will find that they re- 
fuse to take up inorganic Chlorin. We need organic Chlorin for 
the blood, secretions and tissues. 



F-52 

37. How will ordinary, common salt, affect dropsy? A. - We need 
plenty of ordinary common salt when we suffer from dropsy, and we 
need, also, a dry diet* We must not drink cold drinks, as they have 
a bad effect. It is better to drink hot lemonade v/ithout sugar, 
when we are thirsty, when we suffer from dropsy. 

38. What elements are not obtainable in a vegetarian diet? A. - 
Chlorin, principally. 

39. What Chlorin foods would be of value to a person suffering from 
cataract? A. - A Chlorin diet would do nothing for cataract. 

40. What causes red, or irritated, eyelids? Is it due to acidity, 
and what kind? How can it be eliminated? A. - It may be due to 
many things, as, for instance, excessive Sulphur consumption. It 
may be due to a Pargenic taint. It may be due to vegetable poison. 
It is seldom due to acidity. 

41- How can xve recognize nervousness, or irritability, caused by a 
lack of Chlorin? A. - Because of other symptoms that go with it, 
and because it is a certain kind of nervousness, and a certain kind 
of irritability. Chlorin-hunger people, or Chlorin-excess people, 
are not only irritable, but ugly, revengeful, stormy, mean, cynical; 
and a very heavy cloud hangs over them, and an anxiety that they 
cannot explain. 

42. Kindly explain the physiological process that Chlorin exerts up- 
on peristalsis. A. - Chlorin acts upon the nerve ends, and Potas- 
sium acts upon the muscle fibers; thus producing peristalsis. How- 
ever, peristalsis is also mainly produced by the nerve force that is 
acting upon the various organs, tissues and fibers. 

43. Is there not too great a tendency in people to use too much salt 
on their food, thereby injuring their kidneys? A. - Yes, some 
people. 

44. Is Chlorin, in the form of common table salt, harmful to the 
liver and other organs? A. - It may be harmful if taken to ex- 
cess, but not otherwise. 

45. What pathological processes go on when the knees swell? A. - 
There- are no pathological processes going on by the mere swelling 

of the knees, unless the process becomes pathological. That swell- 
ing may be in the bones; it may be caused by acid resulting in in- 
flammation; it may also be caused by sick blood. 

46. What is the cause of the collapse of a child which was never 
ill, yet suddenly had a collapse of her legs, so that she has not 
been able to walk since? A. - The cause was in the cerebellum, 
or else in the spinal centers. They gave out, perhaps because they 
never were very strong, and perhaps, also, because the parents did 
not know how to feed those spinal centers, or cerebral centres, or 
cerebellar centres. 

47. Will grafting in sex glands make a person young again, as is 
claimed and done by certain doctors, by grafting goat*s glands into 
human sex glands, and claiming that it corrects barrenness in 
mothers? A. - Wait and see.

48. What is the cause of Erysipelas? A. - Germs. 

49. Do you recommend yeast as being an excellent food, as is some- 
times claimed? A* - Let it be proven. 

50. Are there any foods that prevent whooping cough? A. - No* 
There are some foods that may help, but whooping cough is caused by 
by a germ. It is a disease. 

51. Should ice bags be placed on the inflamed breasts of a mother, 
and what ivould be the effect? A. - I believe that it would be 
better to use cold towels than to use ice bags. The condition of 
the blood, and the amount of blood in a patient, determine whether 
we should use ice bags, or cold applications, or not, in times of 
inflammation. A good doctor knows the danger of ice bags to hu- 
man structures in times of sickness, even in times of inflammation. 

52. What do ridges on the finger nails indicate? A. - Lack of 
Silicon. 

55. What causes bow legs in babies? A. - Lack of Calcium, So- 
dium and Fluorin. 

54. Sometimes an excess of the chlorides may cause dropsy, yet 
Chlorin is needed in times of dropsy, why? A. - Excess of any- 
thing is detrimental to health. A deficiency of some certain 
chemical element, is also detrimental to health. Chlorin works 
in albumin. If Chlorin is excessively supplied, there will be 
trouble with albumin metabolism, because Chlorin is excessively 
supplied; and if Chlorin is not sufficiently supplied, there will 
be trouble with the same function. Let this go on for a long 
time, and it may result in dropsy. 

55. What is the cause of hang-nails on the nails? A. - Lack 
of Silicon. 

56. Will diet cure cataract? A. - Yes, if it is supplied in 
time. Cataract requires lecithin, and warm milk from the goat. 

57. How much common salt should be eaten with foods, such as 
celery, radishes, nuts, cheese, etc.? A. - When we suffer from 
auto-intoxication we need more common salt than otherwise. If we 
are healthy and we eat plenty of celery, we do not need ordinary 
common salt, for celery is rich in Sodium, which is the case with 
certain nuts, and cheese, such as goat's cheese, sheep's milk 
cheese, or Roquefort cheese. Ordinary common salt is needed in 
times of auto-intoxication, fermentation, and germ life in the in- 
testines. Ordinary common salt passes through the alimentary 
tract, and acts upon the walls of the stomaoh. It can do no harm. 
If a man suffers from obesity he needs ordinary common salt in 
abundance. In the Desmogenic patient the tissues are too active 
in Sodium metabolism, he needs ordinary common salt in his diet 

to a great extent, otherwise he may run short of Chlorin and 
Sodium, and run into tuberculosis.

58. Is a fireless cooker of any value in preparing food? 
is a very good cooking apparatus. 



A. 



It 



59. Are potatoes boiled, mashed, fried, or baked, good for growing 
children? A. - Baked potatoes are an excellent food for growing 
children, if they- are healthy; but let your children eat the skin ? 
for the Potash, for the salts are in the skin. If your children 
leave anything alone, let then leave the inside alone and eat the 
skin. If children are allowed to eat as they choose, they will eat 
themselves sick in a short tine. 

60. Are pancakes good for healthy people to eat about once a week, 
the year^ around? A. - It depends upon what kind of pancakes, and 
how much grease is used in making the pancakes, and how the pancakes 
are prepared. Pancakes, poorly prepared, are not very good for 
anyone." Fried grease is never beneficial to anyone. 

61. Can goiter be cured? A. - There are four different kinds of 
goiters. One is caused by lack of Iodin. This goiter requires 
Iodin foods in abundance. 

62* How can you regulate Sodium between the tissues and the blood, 
or can there not be too much Sodium in the tissues and not enough 
of Sodium in the blood? A. - The tissues are sometimes robbed, 
and again the blood and the secretions may sometimes be robbed al- 
so. The Desmogenic patient sometimes suffers from indigestion, 
because the tissues rob the stomach, or because there is not enough 
of Sodium in the secretions," nor in the blood. The only, way that 
we can regulate this, is to eat Sodium foods in abundance. 

63. Will Sodium supplied in abundance, help the Thyroid gland? 

A. - No. 



64. Vlhieh is the best way to prepare carrots? A. - By steaming 
them. Perhaps the be st way to eat carrots is to eat them as they 
are - raw, and masticate them well* 

65. Uhat is the cause of jealousy? A. - 17e find more jealousy 
in certain constitutions than we find in others. Exesthesie peo- 
ple are very jealous. Jealousy is often caused by too much per- 
sonal pride. Any one who is very strongly developed in the tem- 
ples, in the Posterior part of the Temporal Lobe, and in the upper 
part of the Parietal Lobe, especially the Posterior section - that 
same person is exceedingly jealous. Acidity in the system, and 
a&to-toxins, have their influence upon jealousy. 

66. Does the young Desmogenic ever develop diabetes? A* - Yes. 
Children suffer from diabetes v/here Phosphorous metabolism is too 
great; and Desmogenic children suffer from diabetes because of lack 
of Chlorin and Potassium in the system. 

67* VJhat does it indicate when the right mammary gland in a woman 
is bigger than the left? Can normality be brought about? A. - 
The difference in size of the mammary gland depends upon the size 
of the cerebellum* If the right side of the cerebellum is the 
largest, the left mammary gland is the largest, and vice versa. 
That which is the strongest and most active, takes un the nutrition 
first.

Calcium is the same as lime but not exactly. Lime is Calcium- 
oxide, while Calcium is an element. That is one reason why we 
should not drink water from a hydrant, or a well, or a river, for 
the simple reason that all such waters, without exception, are rich 
in Calcium. Calcium which is inorganic the human system cannot 
take up. It will collect in the various structures of the body 
and produce many ailments and diseases. 

In Calciferic people, oxidation is always low. In people of the 
Phosphoro-Calcium type, (Atrophic), oxidation is exceedingly low; 
in other words: 

There is a great affinity between people of the Calciferic constitu- 
tion and the Carboferic, Sillevitic, and Exesthesic. Calcium us- 
ually associates itself with Sulphur? Silicon, and Carbon. 

We study plants; we study soils; but we forget man. Why is it? 
People of the Atrophic constitution, people of the Carboferic con- 
stitution, people of the Pathetic constitution, people of theHydri- 
pheric constitution, always suffer from deficiency of Calcium. 
Those people seem healthy. They are fat, yet they have no 
strength, no power, because they do not get enough of Calcium. Cal- 
cium is the fertilizing agent; it is the tiller of the soil. It 
is also the tiller of the human soil, in the human organization. 
The various soils are compelled to give up their vitality under the 
influence of Calcium. 

Mothers who are of the Calciferic constitution bear from five to 
fourteen children, or more. Calciferic mothers give rise to 
strong children. Carboferic mothers give rise to weak children. 
You look at a Carboferic girl and you think she is very beautiful. 
You marry her. Then you find she has no strength. Then you have 
to prepare your own breakfast, sweep the house, and do everything 
yourself. When it is a question of reproduction, you get a baby 
that is a weakling. You work all your life to raise that baby. 
You bury your wife when she is about fort3/--five years old, and also 
your children. 

The Carboferic often has a sour odor. If she sleeps in a room, 
the room itself may have a sour odor. It is because there is not 
enough Calcium in her s^rstera. Every person who has Calcium in 
abundance is clean, on the inside, although he may be dirty on the 
Outside. The Calcium man does not need to clean and brush because 
the Calcium takes care of it. Calcium is a deodorizer. It 
throws out impurity. If there is plenty of Calcium in the system, 
there is greater vitality, there is stronger sexuality, there is 
greater cleanliness. 

V/e learn that hens lay better and more eggs when they are fed 
cracked oyster shells and food rich in Calcium. The farmer has 
found this out; but the human farmer has not found it out . neither 
has the doctor, nurse, nor cook. If we want to give rise to gift- 
ed children, we should eat foods rich in Calcium during the period 
of gestation, because then the mother is laying the foundation for 
the life of her bab3r. That is the time that Calcium salts are 



• F~56 

being used up. If that mother is not sufficiently supplied with 
Calcium, she is in danger of disease after she is through with ges- 
tation. Most milks are rich in Calcium. There is 24$ of Calcium 
in cow's milk", and in mare's milk more than 24$ of the salts con- 
tained, because the colt and the calf must build bones, horns, hoofs. 
Therefore, cow's milk is not the best food for the baby. The baby 
does not build such big bones; the baby does not build horns and 
hoofs, nor a heavy hide. Therefore, the baby does not need cow's 
milk so much as he needs mother's milk. The baby that cannot get 
mother's milk is to be pitied. 

You can never get a product as good for the baby as mother's milk. 
Mother's milk contains only 4$ of fine sugar. Some infant foods 
contain a great deal of cheap sugar, therefore, they will do your 
baby more harm than good. We should pass up science when we get 
so scientific that we kill the baby with our science, and "scienti- 
fic" food. 

The rain water is at work in the rocks, manufacturing Calcium. We 
do not know that it is Calcium that makes the bone of man. We do 
not know that it is Phosphorus that is in the brain. We do not stop 
to think that those inventions, those arts, that genius we admire, 
those excellent books on science and philosophy, are nothing else 
than stone talking to us. 

. The bones that we have are originally nothing but stone. They come 
from stone and go back to stone. We are nothing but living soil. 
A man with a great deal of Calcium in his organization is a man of 
endurance. It takes him about two weeks to get angry, but once an- 
gry, it may take him, perhaps, fifty years to get over it. A Cal- 
cium man never forgets. When a Calcium man gets angry, you are 
dealing with a loaded man. A. weak person, one of the Pathetic 
type, or a Carboferic type, gets angry in a second of time; but 
there is nothing to it. A man is loaded when he has considerable 
Calcium in his organization. Look at those policemen, and those 
criminals who empty pistols at each other and neither one falls. 
If a Calcium man points a pistol at you, 3rou are a dead man. 

Many Russians are Calcium men. Napoleon said that you would have to 
shoot a Russian and then push him down. Calcium people are slow, 
Patient, steady, heavy. It is nothing but Calcium that makes them 
so. 

If people do not have enough Calcium in them r their ankles are weak. 
Calcium and Fluorin hold the bones together. When a ehild is slow 
in walking, it is because there is not enough Calcium in its system. 
That child needs a sensible doctor, cook, and mother, to give the 
right food to that child so that he may gain in strength. If boys 
or girls do not have enough Calcium in" their systems, they are feeble- 
minded. Put them on Calcium-containing foods. Keep them on a Cal- 
cium diet for a long time and they will not be feeble-minded any more. 

If there is an insuf f icienc3 r of Calcium in the bones when they are 
being formed, when the solid structures are being formed, when vital- 
ity is needed in abundance, the child will be feeble— minded. It can- 
not be helped until a heavy Calcium diet is supplied. 

A person interested in humanity should stucl^ every detail of diet. 
It is nell to be a doctor, but we should be" something else, It is

all right to be a scientist, but we should depend more upon the 
Almighty and upon nature. We should use the science of the Al- 
mighty. He has given us our reason to use. 

You have noticed sometimes that a person bleeds easily; more or 
less of nose, chest, bov/els, because of lack of Calcium. A man 
who bled easily went to a specialist and took Serum injections for 
one year, which cost him $500.00; but he bled just as easily as 
ever : all because there was not enough Calcium in the S3rstem. 

If you want to learn concentration do not waste your money on a con- 
centration course, but fall back on a Calcium diet. After you 
take a Calcium diet, you will not need a concentration course. 
These are facts that we are just finding out. 

If jt-ou cut yourself, and you do not have enough Calcium in your 
system the wound will not heal. Then, you should fall back on a 
Calcium diet. Some people suffer from hemorrhages of the lungs, 
of the stomach, and hemorrhages of all kinds. They need a heavy 
Calcium diet. 

Calcium gives greater power to the heart. Judgment and motion of 
a Calcium man are slow. The Calcium man is a bit awkward, but he 
is sure. When he strikes, he strikes hard. Of course, a quick' 
man can get out of the way before the Calcium man can hit him. 

If there is a lack of Calcium, there is little vitalization. The 
Calcium man has the most perfect offspring, if he has the right 
kind of a wife. If she is Calciferic, or Isogenic, she will have 
gifted children. The most gifted children in the world come from 
Isogenic mothers. 

If you were running an insurance company, you would make money by 
taking in only Calciferic and Isogenic people, and refusing all 
others. That is something the insurance companies should do. 
They also should teach people how to take care of themselves. 
Then that insurance company would make more money. 

If there were no Calcium in the sj^stem, there would be danger of 
Oxalic acid symptoms* There are many people who suffer from acid 
symptoms. When the tissues can find no more Calcium, when the se- 
cretions can find no more Calcium - the whole man will suffer. 
When the Calcium salts are extracted from the body, or when the 
body has been robbed of Calcium, decomposition sets in. 

What do you think of yourself as a mother when you buy the cheapest 
kind of candy and give it to your boy, or girl, at the time they 
are building bones? What kind of teeth will that child have when 
it is grown? Can you expect a child to build a good set of teeth 
on candy? The sugar we are giving children will use up the Cal- 
cium. There is a very strong affinity between sugar and Calcium. 
You can put teeth into a sugar solution and it will never affect 
them at all, because the teeth have a coat of Fluorin on them to 
protect them. But if you eat sugar, it goes down into the stomach 
and takes up the Calcium, and your blood is robbed of the Calcium, 



F-58 

and your teeth do not get the Calcium salts needed. The child be- 
comes lastly a fermentation factory, if the mother feeds it candy. 
That child will have poor bones, and at last will walk on crutches, 
if at all. The thing to do is to take the crutches away from him; 
he must exercise; he must do something; he must be put on a Calcium 
diet and kept on it. If you continually feed your boy or girl can- 
dy, sweets, and starches, you may be sure that child will walk on 
critches. When a person is building bone, Calcium is needed for 
bone-building . 

To give the body one and one-half grams of Calcium salts, needed each 
day, a person would have to eat eight loaves of white bread daily; 
if you expected to get your Calcium salts from white bread. There- 
fore you are compelled to fall back on some food that is rich in Cal- 
cium. As white bread does not supply enough of Calcium salts, we 
are compelled to fall back upon some other foods that are rich in 
Calcium, in order to supply enough of Calcium salts for bone and tis- 
sue. It would be better to give our white bread to our pigs. 
White bread will fatten pigs, but our child cannot find enough of 
bone-building material in white bread, and similar food products. 

You must give your child foods containing Fluorin, because Fluorin 
is a co-worker with Calcium. Fluorin is a sort of a bone cement, 
and helps to keep the bones together. If it were not for Fluorin, 
the bones would fall apart like wall plaster. 

All people have stomachs, brains, tissues, joints, blood; all people 
think more or less. All people require a certain degree of endur- 
ance. All people must concentrate their mind to a certain extent, 
at least. If there is a lack of Calcium in the body, the brain is 
too soft; and if there is not enough of Calcium in the system, the 
brain cannot use itself in concentrating processes. If you make a 
chisel of mush, you cannot cut through a stone wall with that chisel. 
If you make a chisel of hard steel, you can cut through any kind of 
a stone wall. So it is also with the brain. If there is a lack 
of Calcium salts in the body, the body, including the brain, is too 
soft. Hence, also, the brain has no power of mental concentration. 
And what good wbuld it do to take lessons in concentration? Would 
it not be better to eat foods that are rich in Calcium? If you 
want to improve your power of mental concentration, you should fall 
back upon a very heavy Calcium diet, and you should take heavy, per- 
sistent physical exercises. 

The Calcium man does not need a concentration course. He is so 
powerful in the processes of mental concentration, that he would 
even concentrate himself into the asylum with his thoughts of in- 
vention. 

People who are soft in tissue, or Carboferic people, do not have 
enough power of mental concentration. Carbon people are very poor 
mathematicians, but Calcium people are always better mathematicians. 
Where there is an abundance of Calcium there is greater power of 
mental concentration. All people who are lo\7 in Calcium cannot 
concentrate their minds. 

When we know all such facts, we smile at "Concentration Courses". 

If jon suffer from Calculi you should eat foods that are rich in 
Sodium salts. A poultice of bran and milk will draw impurities

out of a sore. A poultice made of milk and bran contains Calcium, 
or Calcium salts; and such a poultice put on a sore, or a swelling, 
containing ferments and impurity, or sick blood, will draw the im- 
purity, soreness, heat and inflammation out of that swelling, or 
out of that sore. 

A. very powerful electric light applied to a sore, will kill a 
greater number of germ species; hence, also, a strong electric light 
applied to a sore or to a swelling, or somewhere where pus formation 
is taking place, will kill a great number of germs, and thus help 
to heal up the sore. 

We often talk scientifically, but we neglect common sense. We 
should never neglect, or forget, what the Almighty has given us, 
viz. — Reason, and Common Sense. 

Milk is a fine food product. It is rich in Calcium, and also in a 
great many other saljjs. Sometimes .you may suffer from a swelling 
in the knee, or a gathering somewhere, or a sore; remember, at such 
a time, that a milk-cloth kept on that sore place, as hot as you 
can stand it, very often, will cure that swelling, and draw out the 
impurity in that sore. Even gangrene may be prevented to a cer- 
tain extent, at least, by hot milk applications. Pat on a bran 
and milk poultice for several days, and you will be surprised how 
that poultice will help to heal up a sore, or draw out the swelling 
in a knee, or somewhere else. It is the Calcium in the milk, or 
bran that cures. 

A man who has plenty of Calcium in his s^rstem is never nervous. 
You never saw a Calcium man nervous. But other temperaments, lack- 
ing Calcium, are always nervous. Women, as a rule, are lacking in 
the Calcium element, and also in other salts; and they are forever 
complaining about nervousness. 

Diseases are chronic in Calciferic people. .Then a Calciferic man 
begins to fail, he reaches a climax. He goes down rapidly. It 
is difficult to cure his disease, and medical men call his disease — 
chronic disease. 

It takes a Calciferic man a long, long time to gather knowledge, or 

to learn, or to memorize; but that which he does learn, he can use 

forever. He does many times more with his knowledge than any 
other man. 

After we are about thirty-five years of age, we should cut down our 
Calcium diet, especially if we are Calciferic people. 

If there is a lack of Albumin, Fibrin, and Calcium salts; and you 
cut yourself, the cut keeps bleeding. It is almost impossible for 
you to stop the bleeding. But when there is Calcium salt, Albumin, 
and Fibrin in abundance in ycrar system, or in your blood, the sore 
heals quickly. Fibrin forms in the cut, and the Calcium salts 
Will promote coagulation of blood in that sore, and will soon heal 
up the sore. 



F-60 

Nervous people are defective in Calcium. If we pasr no attention 
to diet, as doctors, we cannot cure. 

A Calciferic man believes nothing but science and facts. When a 
man has Calcium in excess in his system, he becomes a skeptic, and 
often a materialist. The more Calcium a man has in his bones and 
blood, and the smaller his back head is, and the more developed 
his brain at Firmness, and at Combat iveness; the more scientific 
the man becomes, the more courage he has. You cannot scare such 
a man. The more Calcium a man has in his bones, the more of a 
critic he is. 

Habits always grow and become permanent in a Calcium man. The 
older he grows, the more set he becomes in the bone, and the more 
stern he becomes. His wife can do nothing with him. If a Cal- 
cium man becomes a clerk when he is young, he remains a clerk, and 
dies a clerk. If he becomes an inventor, he knows of nothing but 
invention; he hears nothing but invention; he thinks of nothing but 
invention; and he dies an inventor. If he goes to heaven he will 
likely continue with his inventions; and if he goes to hell he willr,- 
in all probability, invent things there. 

If you want to become a first— class salesman, I would advise you "to 
fall back upon a Calcium diet, and to develop the faculty of Con- 
viction, viz*, Combat iveness; and I would also advise you to inhale 
fresh Oxygen in abundance, and, thereby, develop your chest and 
your Conviction power. This would be better than to take a sales- 
manship course. It is well to take a salesmanship course; but you 
should also remember the value of a Calcium diet, and the necessity 
of developing the faculty of Conviction. If a salesman cannot 
convince, he will not make many sales. 

Mothers usually suffer from displacement after gestation, because 
they have lost too much Calcium, and other salts, in order to build 
bones and solid structures in the baby. Such mothers need a Cal- 
cium diet after delivery, and also after lactation. When there is 
a lack of Calcium salts, the breath is short; there is very little 
power in the lungs; respiration is laborious, as may be seen in the 
consumptive; it is difficult, at such a time, to take enough of air 
and hold it long enough. 

Colleges do not say much about the material that should be taken in- 
to the human machine. If we want to learn all about diet, we must 
leave the University, and the Medical College, and also all other 
colleges; for such colleges teach simply about proteins, carbohy- 
drates, hydrocarbons, and about a few u oses tt , such as - hectoses, 
lactoses, etc, and "ides, as, for instance, saccharides, bi-sacch- 
arides, etc. 

Calcium is the strongest element in the human body. By eating 
great quantities of sugar, or sugary foods, we always reduce Calcium 
in the body, Lime salts associate themselves with the sugar, and 
are eliminated. If we live in the sentiments, largely, and eat 
sugary foods in abundance, that stops bone-building to a certain de- 
gree. If we live in the Will faculties, and do very heavy, per- 
sistent work, we build bone to a greater degree. Heavy exercises 
develop bone. The less we work, as we are growing up, the less 
strength we will have in the bones, and the smaller the bones.

A girl of a Vital Temperament, who sits still all of the time, who 
sleeps much, and who reads novels r is likely to become so weak in 
bone structure, that she could almost be said to be boneless. Look' 
at the man who is carrying heavy planks, and you will' find that he 
has very heavy bones. Heavy, persistent work builds bones, heavy 
bones, compact bones » 

The consumptive requires Calcium, not because he lacks. it, but be- 
cause the Calcium element is being deposited in tubercles in the 
lungs. Those tubercles are hardened Calcium. YThen Calcium is 
locked up in tubercles in the lungs, there will be an insufficiency 
of Calcium. The consumptive may have plenty of lime salts in his 
system, but when the lime salts are locked up in tubercles, the 
blood is being robbed of its Calcium, and so are also the bones. 
Hence, the consumptive suffers from Calcium hunger, although he has 
Calcium in excess. 

Calcium salt is one of those salts which is being consumed by the 
mother during gestation and lactation. Those are the two periods 
requiring Calcium salts in abundance. Calcium is in great demand 
during this time, A mother who is carrying a child that is hungry, 
for Calcium at that very time, will, after the time of delivery, 
feel almost like an empty shell. Think of a doctor, who is giving 
this mother, suffering from Calcium hunger, giving her drugs in- 
stead of Calcium foods. Later on, when she gets sick, perhaps 
from tumors, he performs an operation, and calls this science. All 
mothers who are giving rise to offspring, are in the greatest need 
of Calcium salts during gestation and lactation. The milk function 
is almost impossible, unless there is a plentiful supply of Calcium 
salts in the system at this very time. 

Perhaps a mother may neglect the eating of such foods and drinking 
of such drinks that contain Calcium salts, simply because she de- 
pends upon her appetite, and eats according to her appetite instead 
of eating according to science. The less Calcium we have in our 
system, the less we want. The less Calcium a mother has in her 
system; the more Calcium has been broken down in her body during 
gestation, the less appetite she will have for Calcium. At last, 
when a dietician begins to supply that mother with the Calcium 
salts, or ordering such foods containing Calcium salts in abundance, 
she may become sick; because, when the system has been robbed of 
Calcium salts for a long time, and they are suddenly supplied, they 
create a revolution in the system, and the mother is likely to. 
think that the food does not agree with her. That which we need 
ma.j be the very thing we do not want; it may be the very food arti- 
cle that goes against us, and that our appetite does not call for. 
The man who drinks whiskey has an appetite for whiskey, and he 
thinks that whiskey is the very thing he needs. 

If there is too much Calcium in the system, in the bones, in the 
joints, in the arterial walls, in the canal walls, here, there, and 
everywhere in the body; too much Calcium in the blood; too much Cal- 
cium everywhere in the body - it is likelAr to result in some sort of 
Calcic hardening. Too much Calcium in the blood results in 
epilepsy, especially when there is an insufficiency of Sodium and 
Chlorin. 



F-62 

Lower the Calcium supply for five, six, or eight months, and that 
man becomes sick. Try this, viz., a Calcium-free diet, on another 
man, and he becomes sick; try it on a third man and he becomes sick. 
They all suffer from the same thing. V/hen we say this, and know 
this, through experimentation and observation, we know positively 
that we are on the right road. If we can make those sick men well, 
by placing them on a high Calcium diet, we know that we are' doing 
the right thing. Unless we find such facts through dieting, (All 
our knowledge is based upon such facts) , we are not scientific di- 
eticians. Formerly I paid people to let me practice diet on them. 
Put a man on a one-sided diet, or on a diet that does not supppy a 
certain needed salt in the system, and that same man soon becomes 
sick. 

It is well to remember, also, in connection with experimentation, 
through diet on human beings, that we must not go too far, for if 
we go too far, the chances are that the body refuses to take up that 
same needed chemical food salt. If the body has been robbed of a 
certain chemical food salt for a long time, until actual starvation 
for that same food salt takes place, the body may never assimilate 
that chemical food salt again; then the man would die. 

At that time, when we are most healthy, we should build up and not 
wait until we are sick* As a general rule, when we begin to build 
up, it is too late. 

A man who lacks Calcium has many peculiar symptoms. He is full of 
fear; something hangs over him; he thinks something terrible will 
happen; he is gloomy; he stays around the house, and refuses to do 
anything. 

When there is too much Calcium in the system, it results in Calcic 
diseases, or in hardening; Calcic acid formation; formation of 
Calcic by-products; Calcic deposits. 

At about the age of fifty-five a man usually suffers from brain 
shrinkage. When that brain shrinkage is rapid there will be a 
vacuum between the brain membranes and the skull. This causes a 
very peculiar sensation. If such a man lies down suddenly, he 
feels dizzy, he feels as if he is going down. There is danger of 
insanity. The brain rolls in the cranium,- because of this shrink- 
age, and this may produce feeble-mindedness, or some form of in- 
sanity. A man, at this age, in whom the brain is shrinking, 
should take a long time to lie down. He should lie down gradually, 
a little at a time; and in the morning he should get up slowly. 
Such a man must not bend down suddenly, nor lie down suddenly, nor 
arise suddenly. 

A cataract is caused by excess of Calcium in the diet. Calcium, 
Chlorin and Sodium are the three elements that keep the blood in 
condition. If there is too much Calcium there is danger of Throm- 
bosis. This may also happen when there is not enough Calcium. 
Sodium keeps Calcium in solution. Fluorin keeps Calcium at work 
in the bones. Without Sodium and Fluorin, it would not be very 
easy to build bones, nor would it be easy to keep Calcium in work- 
ing condition in the body, in the blood," and in the bones. 

When people grow old they become stiff, Calciferic people, or bony 
people, are the most long-live^ people that we have,, yet thejr often

suffer from Calcic ailments or hardening. 

Gout is taken from the word "Cutta", which means - drop. Doctors 
formerly, thought that patients had a certain "drop" which traveled 
here, there, and everywhere, something similar to mercury,- and they 
called this kind of ailment, Gout, meaning drop. That Gutta, or 
gout, is caused by acid. This acid is everywhere. This is why 
it seems to the gout patient, that the pain jumps, for the pain is 
first here, then there, then somewhere else. That stiffness in 
the bones, in the tendons, in the joints, is hardening, caused by 
Calcium deposits. If a man eats Calcium food all of the time, 
there will eventually be an excess of Calcium, and he will suffer 
from Calcic ailments. You cannot cure a man like this by giving 
him drugs. You cannot cure him by punching his back, nor by giv- 
ing him osteopathic treatment. There is only one way of curing 
him, and that is by placing him on a Calciura-free diet, also by 
giving him a high eliminative diet, with plenty of foods that are 
rich in Sodium, to keep the Calcium in solution, 

Calciferic people are the greatest constructors or builders that we 
have. They are the best engineers; they are the greatest mathema- 
ticians that we have. They are highly scientific. They are for 
nothing but studies. 1 Calcium people are interested in geology, 
and in all sorts of agricultural problems. The Calciferic man 
contradicts the minister. He is from Missouri. He tells the 
minister — "Show me your God and I will believe in Hin; show me 
where heaven is, and I will believe in your heaven". 

Every tubercular patient feels better in the morning. He feels 
worse as soon as the sun passes the Meridian. Then he grows 
worse until about twelve o'clock at night. After midnight he 
breaks into perspiration, and this is called - night sweat. Then, 
there is a change in temperature. The carbonic acid in the atmos- 
phere is partly dissipated, and there is more Oxygen in the atmos- 
phere. The Oxygen increases more and more, until the sun rises 
in the east; and it keeps increasing until about twelve o'clock at 
noon; and during all this time the carbonic acid in the atmosphere 
is decreasing. At this time the tubercular patient seems better. 
We should put the tubercular patient in an airship, and send him 
up into the air afternoons, or after twelve o'clock noon, and when 
night comes, we should take him up into the air so that he may ob- 
tain Ozone in abundance. Then you could cure jrour tubercular pa- 
tient quicker. He can never be cured, however, if you put him in- 
side of four walls in a sanitarium, where there is no air, and 
give him one pint of cream and twelve raw eggs a. day. This would 
surely kill him; and would not this be enough to kill anyone? 

A Calcium hunger patient cannot digest food. His appetite is 
stronger than his digestion. He over-eats at every meal. The 
more he eats, the leaner he gets, and the more his consumption in- 
creases, A tuberculosis patient should be placed on a dry diet. 
He should, however, not go according to his appetite. Appetite 
knows nothing about science. Appetite knows nothing about assimi- 
lation and digestion. Most Calciferic men are fond of whiskey, 
which is also the case with most Oxypheric men. The tubercular 



F-64 

patient is weak in the sex brain, yet he is sensual and excitable 
because of inflammation of the sex brain. 

Some people wonder how we can tell when a certain diet is necessa- 
ry. This is very easy. Every food element, when it is lacking, 
has its own peculiar symptoms. Iron-hunger has its anemia; Cal- 
cium-hunger has its tuberculosis and its catarrh, and its earache. 
Calcium excess has its symptoms in the form of poor hearing, poor 
eyesight, stiff joints, gout, chronic rheumatism, arteriosclerosis, 
irritability, and so on. When we are acquainted with the symptoms 
peculiar to a certain chemical food element, or the lack of the 
same, we know when that chemical food element is lacking, or when 
it is excessive. Certain symptoms precede certain coming diseases; 
certain symptoms and diseases call for a certain diet. When a man 
suffers from anemia, we know that he needs Iron for his blood. 
When a man suffers from cerebral neurasthenia, we know his brain is 
starved, and that he is in great need of a diet that is rich in 
Phosphorus.. 

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED : 

CRANBERRIES — generate hippuric acid in the system. When a person 
eats cranberries, there is always hippuric acid in the urine. Cal- 
cium is abundant in cranberries; but they do not contain salts, ex- 
cept in small quantities. 

CABBAGE - is a very high Calcium food. It is rich in vegetable 
Calcium, There is a difference between vegetable Calcium, and 
animal Calcium. The Calcium which we find in milk is animal Cal- 
cium. Some people can handle animal Calcium better than they can 
handle vegetable Calcium, which is the case with the Calciferic pa- 
tient. Cabbage should be eaten raw, or it may be eaten cooked, if 
it is sauer-kraut, Chinese cabbage is rich in Calcium; it is also 
rich in Sulphur. Some people can handle Chinese cabbage in its 
raw form. Those who eat it raw always get the Vitamines. If you 
cook cabbage, you get only a dead food. Anything cooked is dead. 
Anything that is cooked, baked, boiled, fried, does not contain any 
of the Vitamines. Cabbage juice is a fine tonic if rightly pre- 
pared. If it is not rightly prepared it is not a good food. 

MILK — Cow's milk is high in Calcium. Mare's milk is even higher 
in Calcium than cow's milk. Cows and mares secrete milk very rich 
in Calcium. The colt and the calf are in need of Calcium for 
heavy bones, solid structures, hoofs, hair and hide. But mare's 
milk and cow's milk are not good to give to babies. Babies do not 
build horns., or hoofs. Babies need mother»s milk, not mare's milk, 
nor cow's milk. 



KUMISS — is high in Calcium, unless it is made of goat's milk, or 
of sheep*s milk. There is much more Calcium in cow's milk than 
in goat's milk, or in sheep's milk. 

LEMONS - V/hen you buy lemons, always buy those that feel soft. 
This holds good in regard to oranges and limes. Never buy those 
that feel hard, or that have a thick skin; always buy orange's, 
limes, and lemons that have a thin skin. They are more juicy, and 
they were ripe when they were picked. Thick— skinned oranges con- 
tain an acid that does not belong in the oranges. Thin-skinned 
oranges contain more citric acid.

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED : (Continued) 

LIMES - is one of the finest kind of fruit. Limes are rich in 
Calcium, but that Calcium is associated with Formic acid, Citric 
acid, and other beneficial acids that are favorable to the gout 
patient, or to the patient that suffers from rheumatism. If you 
give a man who suffers from gout, lemonade, you will increase his 
gout. If you do not believe it, try it for about two weeks, and 
you will soon believe in diet, especially if you suffer from gout, 
because the gout pains will convince you that there is something 
in diet. If you discontinue with high Calcium foods, and fall 
back upon limes, eliminative foods and juices, citric fruit and • 
foods, formic acid foods, and distilled water, you will find that 
your gout, or your chronic rheumatism, will not be so severe* A 
man may even cure his gout by drinking juice from limes, and dis- 
tilled water, and falling back upon foods that are rich in citric 
acid and in formic acid. 

ONIONS - contain Calcium in abundance, also Sulphur. It is the 
Sulphur and the Oxygen acid that goes into the tissues everjrwhere 
when you eat onions. It is the Sulphur in the onions that give 
you that odor. Do you remember what a girl sang, viz., "I am to 
remember the kiss you gave me pet, You had been eating onions, and 
I can smell them yet". If you eat onions you will have an onion 
odor for two or three days, that will reach out perhaps five, ten 
feet away from you. 

ORANGES — contain citric acid. They are high in Calcium. Some 
oranges are rich in sugar. Oranges have certain food elements 
that are fine for gout. Formic acid and Citric acid are two of 
the most important acids for the body. There are no acids so val- 
uable to the human system as Formic acid and Citric acid. We 
should introduce them to a great extent into the body, for those 
acids will neutralize other acids, and will have a beneficial ef- 
fect upon nerves and brain. 

RHUBARB — is a high Calcium food. It contains also Oxalic acid. 
There is no food so stimulating to the brain as rhubarb. If you 
have Citric acid in the body, and Uric acid, you are in no danger; 
but if there is an excess of Uric acid, and you then eat some 
foods, such as rhubarb, containing oxalate of lime, the two will 
unite and will form a quadri-uratic deposit, which will cause in- 
flammation, and you will suffer, perhaps, from chronic rheumatism; 
or perhaps from gout; or perhaps from arthritis. Arthritis is 
that kind of gout that lives in the joints. It is a diet disease. 
Rhubarb is injurious to a man who has that kind of acid in his sys- 
tem, or who suffers from gout, or chronic rheumatism. 

SODA FOUNTAIN DRINKS - are high in inorganic Calcium. That. 
Calcium which is found in human bones is organic. Bone Calcium is 
evoluted Calcium. The coarser a certain man is, the coarser is 
his Calcium. The finer a man is, the finer is his Calcium. We 
should give a man the kind of Calcium, either from vegetables, or 
from animals, which he can handle better. If he is a coarse man, 
give him coarse Calcium foods. 



F-66 

SAUER-KRAUT t is a very good food, if prepared rightly, or as the 
Germans prepare it. But if you prepare it with considerable of 
vinegar, or if you prepare it in some way that is not favorable, it 
is not good food. Remember that vinegar is acetic acid, and this 
is bad for the liver. 

SPINACH - is a very fine food, unless it is grown on hot beds; then 
it may not be good. Spinach is high in chemical food salts. If 
you drink hard water for a long time you may be sure that the Calci- 
um in the water will collect around the kidneys, and on the walls 
of the arteries, in the bones, and in the walls of canals; lastly 
you will suffer from rheumatism and will become stiff and unyielfy. 
Your hinges will become rusty. Never drink ordinary water. It 
is not necessary, for the Almighty has made foods that contain 
enough water, even up to nearly one hundred percent. He never 
told us to drink ordinary water. The Almighty distills the water 
for us, through the vegetable kingdom, and through rain. We 
should do the same thing* 

LIMA. BEANS - are very high in salts, also in Calcium salts. 

EGG YOLK - is rich in the Vitamines, if you do not boil it, or fry 
it. You need not think the white of the egg is rich in Vitamines, 
because it is not. If you cook the egg, you kill the life in the 
egg, A boiled egg is dead food. There is no life value in a 
boiled egg. There is no food of such high value to the brain and 
nerves, as raw egg yolk. Raw egg yolk is full of life. If you 
boil eggs and set a hen on them, do you think you can get chicks? 
Certainly not. And why? Because the eggs are dead, 

GOOSEBERRIES - are excellent. They contain Potassium acid of high 
value for gonorrhea. The Potassium acid in gooseberries, and in 
red currants, or black currants, is simply fine for Medeic impurity. 
The pulp of the grapes does not have any Vitamines. You find the 
Vitamines in the seeds. Any food that reproduces itself, or that 
germinates in the soil, has the Vitamines. It is the Vitamines 
that are the life— principles in foods, in seeds, in berries, in 
plants, 

GRAPES - are said to he excellent for the complexion, because they 
contain a small percent of arsenic; also because the}?- contain grape 
sugar and tartaric acid. They should be used sparingly, neverthe- 
less. 

LENTILS - You can never get a better food than lentils. If you 
knew the value of lentils, you would plant them and eat them to a 
greater extent. They give you all the protein that your system 
needs, and more. You could work like a mule on lentils. They 
contain more protein than beef. They are more easy of digestion; 
they have more of the organo-metallic salts, with the exception of 
two of those salts. They are low in Calcium. 

LETTUCE - is a fine food if clean. They should be eaten with 
other foods, 

HITMAN MILK -is low in organo-metallic salts. 

DRIED PEAS - are high in salts and low in Calcium. They are fine 
for a man who is stiff in the spine.

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED: (Continued) 

YELLOW PEAS - are much better than any other kind of j^eas. You 
can cook these in steam at a temperature of about 125° Fahrenheit* 
You can work like a horse on such food. If you want to grow 
strong muscles, eat plenty of peas. 

PRUNES - are of value, not for all people, but for some people. 

WALNUTS - are high in fat,, but low in Calcium. Walnuts are an 
excellent food after the age of about fifty-five, when a man be- 
gins to stiffen up in the hinges. Lentils, peas and Y/alnuts, are 
high protein foods. 

CHEESE - Goat's cheese is low in Calcium, but high in the blood 
and heart salts. It is a fine food for the old gentleman, the 
grandfather. This is true in regard to sheep's cheese. Such 
cheese does not fill the system with Calcium. Goat's cheese con- 
tains blood salts in almost equal proportion. There is no food 
that contains the blood salts, and" the heart salts, so equally, as 
goat's cheese, or goat's milk. In goat's cheese, and goat's milk, 
we find Fluorin, that valuable element so essential in times of * 
tuberculosis. There, we find the salts that are needed in the 
blood and tissues; there we find more of the salts in a more equal 
proportion than in any other food. That is why goat's milk and 
goat's cheese is such a valuable food. 

CITRATE OF MAGNESIA - is a fine laxative when the stomach is sour, 
but not otherwise. When the stomach, or the alimentary tract, is 
not acid, then it forms a clay coating along the walls of the en- 
tire alimentary tract. Do not take Citrate of Magnesia at any 
other time than when your stomach is acid, or sour. 

CUCUIIBERS - are valuable when sores do not heal; where there is 
proud flesh; when there is a tendency to congestion; when it is 
hot and sultry, as, for instance, in July and August. 

RADISHES - are rich in Sulphur-containing food, but not in Calcium. 

SHREDDED WHEAT BISCUITS ^ are high in salts, especially in Calcium 
salts. 

Vitamines found in impure water, viz., germs, are the very kind of 
Vitamines that we do not want. They would send us into eternity. 

When we study the percent of the salts, we mean the percent of the 
salts found in the various foods. For instance, when we say that 
wheat contains two percent of mineral taatter, we mean that it con- 
tains two percent of mineral matter as compared to the wheat it- 
self. But when we say that wheat contains thirty-one percent of 
Potash, we do not mean that it contains thirty-one percent as com- 
pared to the wheat itself, but compared to the two percent of 
mineral matter found in the wheat. Or, in other words, wheat con- 
tains thirty-one percent of Potash, of the salts found in wheat. 
We are talking about the percent of the salts, and not the -nerc-e?it

of wheat, Wheat bran is usually recommended for constipation, but 
wheat bra,n is not a cure for constipation, in very many patients. 
There may be an occasional patient that is benefited by a wheat bran 
diet, but most patients become constipated by eating wheat bran. 
Wheat bran will* not cure constipation in the Calciferic patient, it 
would increase the constipation. Bran is not a laxative food to 
the Calcium patient. It is a good food for some people, but not 
for the Calciferic. If you eat the bran raw, you get the Vitamines, 
but not otherwise. 

All Citric fruits are high in Calcium. Some people are sensitive 
to Calcium, as, for instance, Desmogenic, Myogenic, Pathetic, and 
Neurogenic people, Some .patients get sick from milk, because milk 
is too rich in Calcium. If we do not know types of patients, as 
doctors, we will doctor the people into their graves. One man is 
cured on a certain diet, another patient is killed. 

The main element in the Calciferic man is Calcium. The Calciferic 
man is a sort of a Calcium factory. He craves for foods that are 
rich in Calcium. The Calciferic man thrives on a milk diet, be- 
cause milk is rich in Calcium* If you give a Myogenic patient Cal- 
cium, or milk, he becomes sick. The Myogenic man is a vegetable 
man. He likes greens, vegetables and nuts, but a milk diet will 
make him sick. The Neurogenic man, or patient, is a sort of a 
brain or nerve factory. There is a vast difference between man and 
man. People differ in chemical elements, and in characteristics, 
and therefore, also, they differ in dietetic needs. One man 
thrives on a fruit diet; another man thrives on a milk diet. One 
requires a nut diet; and another one requires an eliminative diet. 
One needs a brain diet- and so on. 

When we improve upon a certain diet, we are likely to recommend 
that diet to everybody else. This is wrong. Just because a cer- 
tain food cured us, that is no sign that that same food will cure 
another person. We never stop to think that one person is dif- 
ferent from another person^ that a certain disease in one person has 
one cause, and the same disease in another person may have another 
cause. We never stop to consider that one person has a different 
body chemistry from that of another person. 

The citric acid, and the formic acid found in limes, are beneficial 
for the nerves. There is nothing better than cucumbers for con- 
gestion of the blood. If the sexual system is too energetic, there 
is nothing better than the juice of limes and cold baths. If you 
want to break down fat, there is nothing better for this purpose 
than hot sour lemonade without sugar. 

If your vitality is running low, do not drink pasteurized milk, and 
do not give your baby that kind of milk. We are told that ordinary 
cow's milk is rich in germs. That is true. One teaspoonful of 
milk contains more than forty million germs in many instances. It 
is not the germs that we need, especially dangerous germs. It all 
depends upon what kind of germs they are. It is not the germs in 
the milk at the time of milking that we need to be afraid of, so 
much as it is the germs that have been added to the milk by the dirty 
milkman, and by his dirty cans, and by his dirty methods. Moreover, 
there is no food that grows germs so fast as milk.

FOOD ANALYSI S , EXPLAINED i (Continued) 

When a prominent man recommends a certain food article, we are 
ready to recommend that food article also, without knowing any- 
thing about it. When we pasteurize milk, we kill the Vitamines., 
and we alter the chemistry* in the milk. It would "be much better 
to instruct the milkman to wash his cans, to v/ash the cow, to 
watch out' for the germs that are flying around in the atmosphere, 
and to have a first-class chemist to inspect the milk cans; this 
would be much better than to pasteurize the milk. 

In times of chronic rheumatism we should fall back upon foods that 
are rich in Citric acid and Formic acid; and in times of great ner* 
vousness, or brain trouble, we are in the greatest need of such 
fruits or foods that are rich in Formic acid. High-tempered peo- 
ple need fruits that are rich in Formic acid. Sensualists need 
foods that are rich in Formic acid. If you are excitable and you 
are subject to the growth of tumors, you are in the greatest need 
Of foods that are rich in Formic acid, 

.QUESTIONS, AND ANSWERS ; 

1. Would Calcium and Fluorin foods help to sober a drunkard? 

A. - No. They would increase his drinking tendencies. A heavy 
Calcium diet will increase drunkenness. 

2. What is the best substitute for mother's milk for the unfortu- 
nate baby? A. - Goat's milk, 

3. What is the Aura, and is it more pronounced in some constitu- 
tions than in others; if so, which ones? A. - It is an elec- 
trical condition, or a magnetic substance in the human organisa- 
tion, very closely associated with life, as I understand it. If 
you -out your finger in front of the light, you will find that 
your' finger is translucent. It is the life principle, or it is 
the Aura, that makes it translucent. When the Aura is gone from 
your finger, your finger is dead. When the Aura has left your 
body, your body is dead. The Aura is the soul in man; the soul 
that lives in the body is the Aura. The soul in some people is 
larger than it is in other people. people who have a large soul 
are called magnetic; people' who have a small soul are called un- 
magnetic. If you increase the Aura, or if you develop the soul 
itself, you will increase your own personality. people who have 
very strong back heads are interested in humanity; they have a 
larger Aura, or a larger soul. They are interested in humanity. 
Christ is a remarkable example of that kind of a man. Tolstoi is 
another example of a large-soul ed man. Such people are called 
magnetic. The Aura is not exactly electricity in the body. 
Electricity has no Aura, but a Christian, who has a large soul, al- 
ways has a large Aura. A highly developed spiritual Christian, 
has a large Aura, A Medium claims to see the Aura in the dark; 

a Medium comes in contact with your Aura, and she is able to tell 
what is in your mind. She thinks that she is guided by a spirit 
guide, or by some Indian guide; but she is not. She gets the in- 
formation from you, or from some other human soul» Spirituality

is of such a nature that it is symboii6» 

that is symbolic, it will come true. 



If you dream a dream 



4. Will Calcium make a Carboferic person stronger after he shall 
have attained his growth? A. -~Yes. It will make him strong 
if he will only work and make effort at the same time. A Carbo*- 
feric man does not want to work, nor make effort, in which event a 
Calcium diet would not make him any stronger. 

5. Would Calciferic and Desmogenic people be happy together? A. - 
This would not be a favorable matrimonial -combination. They are 
not affinities, whether they could live well together or not. 

6. Do Calciferic people make good classical dancers 5 if they move 
slowly? A. - ITo. They would dance like oxen, or in an awkward 
way. There is strength in a Calciferic girl, but you would not 
like to dance with her, she would step on your corns. 

7. What constitution makes the best classical dancer? A. - The 
Desmogenic. The dancer must be powerful in joints and limbs. 
Dancing requires a great deal of exertion in the feet. For that 
reason, and because Desmogenic people are stronger in the joints and 
tendons, they make the best dancers* Their feet never tire. 

8» Does Cow's milk supply the Calcium needed, at the rate of a pint 
a day for the adult? A. - Yes; unless you are a constitution 
that cannot tolerate milk; in which case you must get your Calcium 
from the vegetable kingdom. 

9. Mien Calcium is deficient, would a Calcium diet benefit an 
adult? A* - Yes. 

10. Is lack of Calcium associated with rheumatism in a young person 
of about seventeen years of age? A. - No. It would not result 
in rheumatism, but in acidity, and that acid could result in rheuma- 
tism. 



11. What is Calcium Lactate? 
lime. 



A. - It is a sort of a milk of 



12. Was McSwinney a Calcium man? A. fc No. 1 rather think he 
must have been an Exesthesic. He was strongly developed in the 
temples, and was very deeply interested in what he had said, or in 
popularity, in a certain direction. He would not like to retract 
what he had said. This is called "pride". It is really the 
spirit of vanity and popularity. 

13. When a Myogenic, or a Desmogenic, suffers from muscular rheuma- 
tism, what diet is the best? A. - If a Myogenic suffers from 
muscular rheumatism, it is because of the condition of his blood. 
In the Desmogenic, it is caused by acid and lack of Oxygen. 

14. Is it advisable for a person of a Calciferic type to eat -cran- 
berries, pumpkins, grape fruit? Are these foods detrimental, or 
not, to such a type? A. - I would not advise the Calciferic to 
eat cranberries, because it would result in gas generation. Grape 
fruit is better.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ; (Continued) 

15. Kindly explain how hypertrophy of the heart, and tricuspid 
regurgitation are brought back to normal condition when valves are 
pathologic. A. *■ Take the water out of the system and fall 
back upon Calcium, Potassium, and Chlorin food salts. Give a dry 
diet. It is necessary to manufacture Fibrin, also. 

16. What is the cause of some people's being born left-handed, and 
can they become right-handed? * A. - The reason why some people 
are born left-handed is because the right side of the cerebellum 
is the stronger. If you are right-handed, the left side of the 
cerebellum is the stronger. If a child is left-handed, it is bet* 
ter not to interfere. 

17. Is Ozena or Atrophic catarrh caused by lack of Silicon, and 
will a Silicon diet cure it? A. - Not altogether, but it will 
help to cure it, 

18. If a Myogenic man does brain-work, only, is it not necessary 
for him to take regular exercises, or become interested in athle- 
tics? A. - The Myogenic should spend at least six hours out of 
doors every day, and be in action, otherwise he will get sick. 

He cannot sit indoors and remain healths'. The Isogenic man can 
sit at a desk eighteen hours a day, where there is but little 
fresh air, and work, work, work, day in and day out, for fifty 
years, and feel well, as, for instance, Edison. But not so with 
the Myogenic. He must be in action, and outdoors every day. 

19. "What is the cause of a cystic tumor, and what cures it? 

A. - It is a watery tumor. Wherever there is dead tissue, water 
will form. It is cured by v/ork, massage, and a Chlorin diet. 

20. Are some types more subject to epilepsy than others, if so, 
what types? Can epilepsy be cured by diet? A. - Yes. Some 
types are more subject to epilepsy than others. The Oxypheric, 
the Calciferic, sometimes the Exesthesic, suffer from epilepsy. 
Y^s, it can be cured by diet, when it is caused by diet. 

21. Is not the fertilization of soil with manure, instead of with 
chemical fertilizers, or pulverized rock, or coal ashes, the cause 
of germs on vegetables? A. - Whenever we fertilize with animal 
fertilizer, there is great danger of germs on plants. Chemical 
fertilizers are better. 

22. What does a prominent zigzag vein on the temple mean? A. - 
It means that hardening of the arteries is at work. 

23. " What are the leading faculties of the mechanical engineer? 
A. - He is a mechanical engineer by reason of his temperament. 
The Calciferic type is the most scientific and successful mechani- 
cal engineer that" we have. But that does not mean that others 
are not good mechanical engineers also. 



F-72 

24. Can a person overcome an excessive development of the parietal 
region of the "brain? A, - Yes* He can overcome fear. He 
should develop courage; feel that he can do anything, fight any- 
thing; not afraid to meet the devil himself. When a man feels 
strong* there is no fear in him, and we cannot scare him. 

25. Is a meat juice diet less dangerous than a vegetable diet? 

A* - We should never live exclusively on a meat juice diet. That 
would not be a diet. It may be a tonic in time of sickness, but 
meat juice would not constitute a diet. 

26. What is the best faculty for a salesman to have in the lead? 
A. - Action is the quality to have in the lead. I would rather 
have the faculty of Action than all the salesmanship courses that 
have been written. 

27.^ ; How can we find out what constitution we are in order to gnow 
what our diet should be? A. - 'Take a good look at yourselves. 
Study yourselves, and take a first-class inventory of yourselves 
before a mirror, then determine your own characteristics, mentally 
and physically. 

28. What, is the average length of life of the Myogenic? A. - 
That I do not know. They are not long-lived, although healthy; 
■nerhaps fifty-five or sixty. 

29. "What effect has Prayer on the brain? And why should we pray? 
A. - We should pray, not because God needs it; we should pray, not 
because other people need it; we should pray, not because other peo- 
ple tell us to pray; but we should pray, because it does US good. 

We should pray to bring blood to the areas of the brain that make 
us highly religious, so that we do not become un-Ckristlike, des- 
peradoes, undesirable people. We should pray to develop ourselves. 

30. What causes an Oxypheric to experience periods of exhilaration 
and periods of despair? A. - Oxygen. The more Oxygen there is 
the more fire there is. At last the fire goes out. This is the 
climax. 

31. You sajr an Isogenic needs to perspire. How would a position 
as cook in front of a hot stove suit them, or would they get along 
in a hot climate? A. - That is not the kind of heat that would 
be good for an Isogenic. It is well for an Isogenic to perspire, 
but stove heat, or strong artificial heat, would lastly lead to 
disease. It must be natural perspiration, either through work, 
steam baths, or through a congenial climate. 

52. If there is no pre-natal influence, can a literary genius 
spring from illiterate patents? A. - Yes, indeed. We have no- 
ticed this hundreds of times. Very often a great literary genius 
gives rise to an ordinary child. Geniuses very often spring from 
ordinary parents; and the most highly educated, very often give 
rise to simple-minded children. 

53. A woman of fifty-seven died of tuberculosis, but had never been 
ill before in her life, to what do you attribute it? A. - She 
had the tubercular taint in her system. She was evidently of an 
Atrophic type, or else of a Pargenic. There is always a cause for 
everything.

Potassium is used by soap manufacturers. The human body is also 
a soap factory. The function which physiologists speak about, 
called "Saponification", which means «- soap -making, is a physical^ 
or physiological process going on in the human organization. When 
there is a lack of Potassium Salts in the body, fats are not con- 
verted into the proper compound. Then, fatty food elements are 
converted into fatty acids and gases. This majr result in a cer- 
tain form of rheumatism. 

The organic food elements are not well taken care of when there is 
a lack of Potassium in the bods'- . Then, the organic food elements 
are converted into acids, so that lastly the entire body becomes 
add, and the secretions become sour. Then, because of those body 
acids, some foods will be converted into gas, resulting in ailments 
and diseases. If you do not have enough of Potassium salts in the 
body, you had better leave fat alone. Sodium and Potassium salts 
are absolutely imperative in order to take care of fat. Potassium 
salts are needed also for sugar metabolism. 

There is one brain centre that is essential in order to take care 
of fatty products, viz,, the sex brain. If this brain area has 
been weakened, it is almost impossible to take care of the fatty 
elements. Then, fats and oils cannot be utilized by the system; 
then the spinal marrow, and the marrow in the bones, the brain, the 
lung substance, the joints, and a great many other parts, or secre- 
tions, of the body, v/ill suffer; simply because the fatty elements 
cannot be utilized. 

A certain substance called Neurolin is needed in the brain and 
nerves* When the sex brain is weak, or has been weakened, Heuro.4. 
lin cannot be assimilated, nor utilized by the nerves, nor by the 
brain* When the brain is not supplied with this important fatty 
substance, the brain becomes stiff, and the neurons in the brain 
become unyieldy; memorization is then impossible, or, at least, 
difficult. A man v/ill experience a peculiar sensation when Sodium 
and Potassium are lacking in the system, and when the faculty Ama- 
tiveness is weak. When Heurolin is lacking, the membranes of the 
brain cannot function so efficiently. 

The arachnoid membrane of the spinal cord, and of the brain, is a 
membrane that is concerned in the secretion of a fatty, oily ele- 
ment, or substance, for the brain and for the spinal cord. If 
there is a lack of Potassium in the system, this important oily sub- 
stance is not secreted for the spinal cord, nor for' the brain; nor 
is it secreted for the generative organs. 

Fever permit anyone to hypnotize you. You will never be the same 
person again. If you find anyone trying to hypnotize you, send 
him to "Siberia" immediately, in your own imagination anyway* 

Potassium and Sodium have considerable to do with the generative 
function; with the utilization of fat for the generative system, as 
well as for the nerves, brain, joints, and for the sex brain; also 
for the spinal cord, and other parts of the body requiring this 
very oily element of which we are speaking. When there is a lack 



F-74 

of those elements, there will be a lack of the fatty element, or, at 
least, it will not be utilized properly. This results in disease. 

Hi/hen we speak of the fatty elements needed in the body, we do not re- 
fer to the fatty element that is deposited under the chin, or on the 
lower part of the abdomen, or -the fatty element which is deposited 
immediately under the skin. That kind of fat ?*hich is deposited in 
such parts of the body, will never do you, nor anyone else, any good. 
It is" superfluous fat; it will only do you harm. 

When nature stores up fat in the blood, in the liver, under the chin, 
on the neck, or anywhere else, the fatty element is not being utiliz- 
ed properly. The fatty elements should be utilized in the bone 
marrow, in the nerves, in the lung substance, in the brain, in the 
generative substance; or, in fact, any and everywhere where it is 
needed. Even the muscles should carry a certain degree of. fat* 

When the Potassium and Sodium elements are lacking in the system, 
the function of saponification is not so good, and then fatty foods 
do not agree. At such times, we should also know, what kind of 
fat will be most easily utilized. Butter fat, for instance, is 
never well utilized by the body, for it is a different kind of fat 
than the body requires. Cocoa-nut fat is much better; even the fat 
from the "contemptible and dirty" hog seems to be nearer to the hu- 
man body than is* butter fat. 

If there is a lack of Potassium in the soil, the crops will suffer, 
so will the trees, the nuts, plants, fruit, and everything that 
grows in the soil. The crops will be backward; germs will thrive 
on the leaves of the plants. Potassium is important in taking care 
of the plants and preventing germs from thriving on leaves and 
fruit. 

If we do not have enough of Potassium in our tissues, germs will 
take hold on the tissues. Certain salts protect our tissues, as ; 
for instance, Potassium, Fluorin, Chlorin. Fluorin protects the 
bone; Potassium protects the. tissues; Chlorin protects the alimen- 
tary tract. Fluorin also protects the lungs. When the system is 
charged with Fluorin it is impossible for consumption germs to take 
hold of the lungs. The Fluorin element will send the consumption 
germs into eternity. 

Potassium works in muscular tissue, in sugar and in fati, The mus- 
cles are vegetative in growth, the same as the hair. If it were 
not for the Potassium element, germs would take hold of the roots 
of the hair and beard, resulting in loss of hair and beard. 

The scientific agriculturist recommends Potassium for the soil, to 
help the crop, trees, plants^ nuts, fruits, and also to protect them 
from certain species of germs. 

The Myogenic man is red-faced, because he has the Potassium element 
at work in his tissues. Because he has more Potassium in his tis- 
sues, his tissues attract more Oxygen. This is why he is red- 
faced. He has more red blood, and better functioning in the tis- 
sues. All people who have considerable of Oxygen in their tissues 
and in their* blood, are red-faced; they have a healthy color in 
their cheeks, magnetic eyes, and an elastic walk.

If there is an insufficiency of the Potassium element, tissue be- 
comes sour. If you eat fat, butter, cream, and all sorts of fatty 
products, or fat meats, the tissues lastly become acid, and you suf- 
fer from gas generation and acid formation. 

It may be very scientific to know how many red corpuscles there are 
in a cubic centimeter of blood; it may be interesting to know how 
great the blood pressure is; it may also be interesting to have an 
X-Ray taken of our interior - But after all, when a doctor knows 
all of these facts, and when you know all of these facts yourself, 
what then? Can you then cure your disease, or do you know, after 
such scientific tests, what you need? Or does your doctor know? 
Can he cure you after he knows all those scientific facts? If 
you need Potassium, and you supply your system with the needed Po- 
tassium foods, you will get cured, whether you are in a sanitarium, 
or in a scientific laboratory, or whether you are in a mansion, or 
whether you are in the hills among the pines, where the trees grow 
tall, and where you do not know whether you have corpuscles in the 
blood or not. 

When your tissues are acid, your sj'stem needs a greater supply of 
Potassium. If you, at such a time, when you are sick from such a 
cause, want to take a scientific count of your blood, do it. If 
you want your blood pressure determined, determine it; if you want 
your urine analyzed, analyze it; but whatever you do, do not forget 
that you need a high Potassium diet. You can be as scientific as 
Darwin, but do not be so scientific that you forget common sense. 

Potassium is an alkaline element, needed, not only by plants, not 
only by the animals, but also by human tissues and human secretions. 
If you are using up the Potassium element in the muscles excessive- 
ly, and you do not supply enough of the Potassium element, the tis- 
sues will soon become acid. 

There are always germs wherever there is a lack of Potassium, 
Chlorin, Pluorin and Magnesium. So soon as there is acid in the 
stomach, bowels, and tissues, there will be trouble. Acid and 
gas in the stomach and bowels result in constipation, and auto- 
intoxication. 

When there is an excess of the fibrin element in the blood, there 
is wonderful healing power in the blood. If there is a tiny hole, 
or cut anywhere, it is soon healed up. If there is a hole in one 
of the ventricles of the heart, or in the valves of the heart, re- 
sulting in regurgitation of the blood, and you manufacture fibrin 
in abundance, this leakage will soon disappear under a high fibrin 
diet, and potassium diet. You can heal that leakage by diet, but 
not by drugs, nor by punches in the back, nor by aspirin, nor by 
chiropractic, nor by dogmatism, nor by rest in bed, nor by faith, 
nor by Christian Science, alone. Nature can heal up a hole al- 
most anywhere in the body; nature can heal up a cut; nature can 
heal a broken bone; nature can cure you* The curative power is in 
your blood, not in the doctor f s drugs, nor in the chiropractic's 
punches. Drugs may occasionally be necessary, providing they are 
not poisonous, and the punches of the chiropractor majr also be

necessary at times; but we should never forget diet. The osteopath 
may be a wise man, but if he forgets diet he is - otherwise. This 
does not mean that we do not need the doctor, the chiropracter, the 
osteopath. We need them all, but their pra,tique should be wide 
enough to include diet, or that which goes into the human machine. 

Hematogenesis is blood-production. If there is an insufficiency of 
Potassium, Iron, Sodium, and Chlorin> the right kind of blood is not 
manufactured. Internal oxidation, is oxidation of the muscles. 
The muscles hold and utilize Oxygen. Free Oxygen is active in the 
muscles. We get animal heat through oxidation in the muscles. You 
do not get heat from fat. You may be told in works on chemistry and 
physiology, that fat is so many units of heat, or so many calories. 
3!t is not so much a question of how much fat you have in your system, 
as it is a question, *» How are you able to utilize and convert that 
fat into units of heat! When we need bodily heat, v/e must get it 
from the muscles, not from fat. Seventy-five percent of the bodily 
heat comes from the muscles. 

If you do not have enough of Oxygen in your tissues, you feel cold. 
Your arms, fingers, toes, are cold, perhaps, air of the time. In- 
ternal oxidation is at the foundation of thermogenesis, or heat- 
production. There is greater vibratory action in the cells when Po- 
tassium is in the system. Under the influence of Potassium, the 
cells receive greater power of life and action. During periods of 
Potassium-hunger, the tissues are cold, and the handshake is dead, 
you feel as if you had hold of a dead fish, when you get hold of a 
man ! s hand. If such a man goes out to make sales, v/hat kind of a 
salesman do you think he will be? He has no energy. He cannot im- 
press his customers. Even if he knew all about salesmanship, yet he 
could not make a sale. He cannot impress his customers. Courses 
in salesmanship never tell you anything about the necessity of a Po- 
tassium diet. If a man lacks life, energy, ambition, power of con- 
viction, personal magnetism, he cannot make a sale. A man can in- 
crease his self-efficiency, and his efficiency as a salesman, by the 
right kind of a diet. 

ITeuricity is the generation of nerve energy. When there is an 
abundance of Potassium, and high muscular oxidation, a man has more 
energy; he can sleep better. But when Potassium is lacking, there 
is unequal heat-production in the body; one part may be hot and the 
other cold; one hand may be cold on one side, and perspire on the 
other. • Lack of equalization of heat in the body is lack of Potassi- 
um. If you want to make more fibrin for your blood, you must fall 
back upon a high Potassium diet. 

The man who suffers from Potassium-hunger, is always in danger of 
falling. The power of balance is never so good. When Potassium 
salts are broken down in different parts of the body, this Potassium 
precipitation must pass to, and through, the kidneys. The food fer- 
ments in the stomach and in the intestines, v/hen there is not enough 
of Potassium present in the system. 

Butyric means - butter. Butyric fat is not a good fat for the body. 

Skatol and Indol are protein poisons. If you are above twenty-seven 
years of age, you had better cut down your protein supply. You 
ought to look to other foods, or eat other foods not containing so 
much protein. When we are protein drunk, we have the devil in us.

We should know what we are eating and drinking* If we do not cut 
out our protein foods, we will be compelled to go to the doctor. 
His pills will not cure us, however, before we cut down the protein 
diet'. He can do us very little good, so long as we keep up eating 
protein in excess. 

If there is not enough of Potassium Chloricl in the tissues and 
blood, sickness sets in. Under the influence of Potassium, the 
brain is able to function more vigorously; but, when Potassium is 
lacking, memory suffers from rheumatism, and energy walks on 
crutches. 

When Potassium is lacking, sugar cannot be utilized in the muscles 
so well. Hence, the sugar is stored up in the liver until you 
suffer from enlargement of the liver* The liver may pass the su- 
gar over to the kidneys, and decomposition in the kidneys sets in, 
and lastly ;t"ou suffer from drops;' - , or from albuminuria, or some 
other kidney disease. Potassium and Chlorin are important ele- 
ments in the muscles. When the sugar goes through the kidne;>"s, 
it causes fermentation. The kidneys are decomposed, resulting in 
diabetes. This is a tissue disease, although you think that it 
is a kidney disease. This disease ma;- start five, perhaps ten, 
years before you know that there is any sugar in your urine. When 
you find that there is sugar in your urine, it is perhaps too late. 
We should prevent this disease five years before it comes. We 
need preventive doctors. A doctor is too late, when a man has one 
foot in the grave. 



ITeuritis is acid in the nerves, or acid disturbing the nerves. 
Cramps are caused by acid. Neuralgia is nothing but acidity act- 
ing upon the nerves. Nerves will never ache, unless there is 
acid there producing the pain. When you suffer from neuralgia, 
there is acid in your system, somewhere. When you suffer from 
sleeplessness, there is gas in your bowels, whether 1 you know it or 
not. At such a time there is a lack of Potassium, or some other 
alkaline food element. When there is acid or gas in your bowels, 
it is not easy to sleep; and if you sleep, your sleep is a Ilorphine 
like stupor. 

Animals sometimes eat grass to such an extent that they become 
bloated. Grass is very rich in Potassium, but does not contain 
Chlorin to a sufficient extent. Let an animal eat grass until 
there is an excess of potassium in the system, or in the alimentary 
tract, and that animal will die from bloating, unless ordinary com- 
mon salty water is given that animal in abundance. 

When Potassium has been lacking for a long time, and we supply it, 
that same patient may become sick. He thinks that he does not 
need that kind of food, because that food makes him sick. He 
takes this for a sign that he must not eat it.

Deficiency of the Potassium element in the body, produces certain 
positive symptoms, and perhaps, also, diseases. How do we know 
this? If " you are a scientific man, and want to find out for your- 
self, cut out, from your general dietary, all such foods that are 
rich in the Potassium element, or cut out all such foods that are 
rich in the Potassium element from the diet, and watch for the re- 
sults, for say, two to six months, and you will know, not only, the 
characteristics, but also the symptoms, ailments, etc, which are pe- 
culiar to potassium-hunger. And remember that, you must know hu- 
man constitutions. 

There is a state of low tissue oxidation, as a general symptom, when 
the Potassium element is lacking. This means that the tissues can- 
not function perfectly. Tissue water is formed. This decomposed 
tissue water, decomposes the kidneys, and lastly the kidneys cannot 
perform their function. All at once, you suffer from swollen an- 
kles, which is a sure indication of low tissue oxidation. When we 
lower the Potassium supply 7- , the cerebellum cannot function so effi- 
ciently. Hence, the patient feels like falling. Mental work, and 
physical movements become difficult. 

Periodic headache is a symptom that appears regularly, perhaps at 
two o'clock each day, or perhaps in the evening, or perhaps some 
other time. One peculiarity of Potassium is periodicity. Plants, 
animals, people, who lack the Potassium element, present periodic 
ailments, or tyrptcns. When there is a lack of tissue oxidation, 
the muscles waste away, almost dissolve, and are converted into wa- 
ter. This is called dropsy. There is an inward fever, but not an 
outward fever. Something seems to be burning on the inside, but 
not on the outside. 

The skin itches and the patient scratches, here, there, and every- 
where. The potassium patient complains of sensitive corns. There 
is a shrinkage in the cells of the cerebellum, when there is a lack 
of Potassium. Self-abuse, is often caused by a lack of Potassium. 
A scar on the body itches more, v/hen there is a lack of Potassium* 

When there is a lack of Potassium, peristalsis is defective. This 
may result in acidity in the stomach. Even the muscles become 
acid, and soon the whole system becomes acid. This results in many 
different diseases. That which you call disease is nothing else 
than the result of acidity in the s^^stem. So long as the system is 
alkaline, there will be no disea,sej but so soon as the system be- 
comes acid ; gas is generated and finds its way into the nerves, and 
even into the neurilemma of the nerves, or in between the nerve walls 
and the nerve substance itself, giving rise to what is called - 
Neuritis. These little gas wavelets find their way into the brain, 
only to disturb the brain function. There is no such a thing as an 
aching nerve, so long as that nerve is alkaline. The Almighty has 
given us important foods containing salts of Potassium, Sodium, 
Silicon, and Magnesium. The Almighty knew that without these alka- 
line elements, we would become acid, and would become diseased. 

potassium is found in different greens, vegetables, and cereals. 
Potassium is usually found on the outside, but it is also function- 
ing in the cells, or in the inner sanctuary of the tissues. The 
manufacturers put cereals through a mill, and the Potassium, Silicon, 
Phosphorus, and other important organo-metallic salts are milled off, 
and sell us only the starch. The miller mills away; the mother

boils away; the cook peels and pares away, that which we need so 
much. They may not mean to do* it, but they are doing it, never- 
theless. Thus, those important foods that should contain the Po- 
tassium element, are eaten minus the Pota-ssium. 

Lastly, stomach, .tissues, secretions become acid. Then the mo- 
ther pays for her ignorance, her husband becomes a dyspeptic, a 
drunkard. She cooks him into an early grave, perhaps without 
knowing it. V/e should eat food the way the Almighty made it. 
We have no business to mill away, peel away, boil away, any part 
of the food. 

Potassium acts upon the intestines, upon the motor nerves, and 
makes them function more efficiently* The motor nerves are un- 
der the influence of the "brain, but if there is no Potassium in 
the system to act upon the nerves, nerve action becomes spasmodic. 

If we eat foods that are rich in fat, or starch, or sugar, or ge- 
latin, we cannot digest them, nor assimilate them as we should, 
when there is a lack of Potassium in the body. If we eat such 
foods mentioned at such a time, it may produce auto-intoxication. 
This is especially true in regard to albumin. A lack of the Po- 
tassium element in the system, results in defective fat metabo- 
lism. Acid is a poison to the nerves. 

The Potassium -hunger person feels as if there is a grain of sand 
under his eyelid. He has a stitching pain in the left ear, never 
in the right ear. His mouth, throat, and even stomach, are full 
of pus and ropy mucus. He complains of pain in the lower back 
head. He turns from side to side and cannot sleep; he is rest- 
less, uneasy. A lady suffering from Potassium-hunger, rushes 
home, as fast as she can, so that she can take off her shoes, cor- 
set, and other apparel that are touching her tender and delicate 
skin. Her tissues are sore, tender, sensitive. 

Displacement of the uterus is caused by a lack of Potassium. A 
surgeon may cut in the muscles and sew in and around them, and 
the patient may improve to a certain extent, but the muscles are 
too lax. The best thing that a surgeon can do is to leave the 
Almighty's workmanship alone, except in emergencies. An opera- 
tion will do harm to people. Osteopaths do not care for opera- 
tions. They may not be wise in all directions, but they are will- 
ing to leave the Almighty's workmanship alone. 

Allopathic doctors are scientific men, and are trying every possi- 
ble way to cure people, as, for instance, by electricity, baths, 
diet, climate, altitude. A doctor who recommends operations, for 
the purpose of making money, is not a real doctor. He is a mer- 
cenary doctor. We have many such doctors, I am sorry to say. 
The doctor who says, "Eat what is placed before you, and ask no 
question", is no doctor. 

The Potassium-hunger person likes his food sour, and drinks great 
quantities of cold water, because his system is feverish. His 
liver is over-heated, and his spleen is in a state of fever. He 
is fond of pickles. Hence, we know that he lacks Potassium. 



F-80 

ffausea from excitement is a positive symptom of Potassium-hunger. 
If you notice one single Potassium-hunger symptom in your patient, 
you may know that he has, perhaps, a hundred, or several hundred, 
Potassium symptoms. If you tell that patient - "This is how you 
feel, that is how you act, that is how you talk", or if you describe 
him according to your diagnostic knowledge, that patient goes home 
and advertises you, saying that that doctor knows his business. 

When we are excited, we break down Potassium salts. When we are 
jealous, we break down Potassium. When we hate people, we break 
down Potassium. The more Potassium we break down, the more acid 
we become, and the more high-tempered we become also. It becomes 
more difficult for us to control our temper. Mental control, 
prayer and religion, have their roots in the stomach. Ministers 
should know something about the chemistry of foods, how to eat and 
drink* Theyshould understand the chemistry of the body. 

Acidity acts unfavorably upon the nerves, and upon the cells. 
When there is an excess of acidity, in the tissues, or around the 
nerves, and also, perhaps, in the brain, the man fe^ls, and acts, 
and talks, as though he is more devil than man. The time will 
come, when ministers of the gospel will be required to take a 
course in modern dietetics, according to the creative plan of the 
Almighty, and thus explain to sinners, how to eat and drink, and 
what habits to cultivate. 

The more work we do, the more Potassium we break down. In a cold 
climate, we are able to increase the Potassium supply in the body, 
to a greater extent than during the hot summer months. Myogenic 
people usually have Potassium in abundance. This is why he is un- 
usually healthy. The vigorous man can undergo many hardships, and 
yet keep up health. 

In times of emergency, the weak man collapses, but the strong man 
goes on, as if nothing had happened. He* is sometimes like an el- 
ephant. A rabbit could not v/ithstand great hardship, nor could a 
rabbit stop the momentum of anything. It takes an elephant a long 
time to start, but when he starts, he can sweep a thousand grey- 
hounds out of the way. 

An excess of Potassium makes a man feel as if he is half drunk, as 
if he does not have full control of his muscles. A lack of Potas- 
sium has the same' approximate symptom. Give a musician a Potassi- 
um diet in excess, for a week, and observe his mistakes in playing 
upon musical instruments. His finger technique is partly lost, 
and his music is not so good. This holds good when' Potassium is 
lacking. A lady in whom Potassium is lacking in the tissues, and 
secretions, holds her finger on one key too long, and another key 
she does not hold long enough. This affects the harmony of the 
music. 



All at once a man feels bloated, for no seeming rea

that he is losing his mind. He fears the asylum. Such symptoms, 
most medical men, Osteopaths, Homeopaths, and others, never pay 
any attention to, or they call it nonsense, or imagination, but 
their patient is not cured. 

Under a normal Potassium diet, people can live more harmoniously 
together, but under the influence of a. heavy starch diet, love 
takes wings and flies away. Excess of acid in the stomach leads 
to the divorce court, or to the asylum for the insane, or to the 
operation table. 

The Potassium patient wants sympathy, but if you sympathize with 
him he gets angry. The Potassium-excess patient suffers from 
excesive alkalinity; and the Potassium-hunger patient suffers 
from the opposite, viz., acidity. There is a deficiency in the 
circulatory current of the blood, and a weakness in the circula- 
tion center of the brain, in the Potassium-hunger patient. 

The Potassium-hunger patient suffers from albuminuria; the albumin 
is precipitated and appears in the urine. 

When we speak of the Potassium man, we have reference to the man 
of the Myogenic constitution. The Myogenic man is usually 1 *. 
healthy, or should be healthy. 

The words "Calisthenics means - "beautiful strength". Calis- 
thenics is feminine gymnastics. The Myogenic man prefers to stu- 
dy in nature's university. The Myogenic man likes* to see how 
things are done. He wants to see things move. He is interested 
in traffic, action; he does not care to see anything stationary. 
When a Myogenic man has his steam up, he wants lazy drones out of 
the way. The Myogenic man is a Potassium man, and believes in 
work, action, and motion. Potassium is an element of energy and 
action, the same as Oxygen. 

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED: 

CHERVIL - is a high Potassium food, and contains Vitamines in the 
seed. 

CHICKORY - is a high Potassium food* 

BITTER GREENS - Potassium is one of the most bitter elements there 
is. It is bitter even when it is associated with sugar. All 
sorts of bitter foods, bitter greens, bitter vegetables, bitter 
nuts, always carry Potassium* 

LENTILS - are excellent as a food. They should be cooked slowly, 
on a slow fire, after first being washed in running water, so that 
any impurity may be washed off. Always be careful about food, 
for something may adhere to the food, or be in the food > that 
may cause disease; disease that may fade your cheeks, -ooison your 
blood, weaken your stomach, perhaps, send you to the hospital, or 
to the grave. Wash lentils* in a strainer, so that you may ¥/ash 
off any sand, or dirt, or seeds, or germs, that may cling to them. 



F-82 

Then, put the lentils into a vessel of . distilled water, and cook 
them on a slow fire about two and oner-half hours. Lentils are' very 
nutritious; lentils are better than meat for laborers. The lady, 
however, who sits still and does light work all day, should eat only 
about two teaspoonsful of lentils, 

ALHGlTD./iTUTSs - The skin of almond nuts should not be eaten. Almond 
nuts should be grated and salted. You should never eat almond nuts 
by themselves, nor on an empty stomach, for this may produce stomach 
trouble. 



CHESTNUTS - are high in Potassium. 
when Chi or in and Sodium are lacking, 
gether with other foods. 



We should never eat Chestnuts 
We should eat those nuts to- 



SUN-DRIED OLIVES - Never eat any other kind of Olives than sun-dried 
olives. Green olives, or ripe olives, may poison you. 

SCOTCH DRIED PEAS - This is another Potassium food. Here you find 
Potassium in connection with Nitrates. In almond nuts, you have 
Potassium in connection with starch. In figs, you have Potassium 
in connection with glucose. In one food Potassium may be associated 
with sugar; in another food it is associated with acid; in another 
food it is associated with fat; in still another food, with starch; 
in another food still, it may be associated with Nitrates. Then 
ggain, it ma"/ be associated v/ith albumin. One patient may need 
Potassium with sugar, another may need potassium in connection with 
albumin, in still another patient, almond nuts, or the starch in al- 
mond nuts,may be needed in connection v/ith Potassium salts; and in 
still another patient the potassium associated v/ith fatty substances, 
may be the very thing that patient needs. Cook Scotch peas slowly 
and always in distilled water, and be sure to wash the peas first. 
Do not cook so that the steam comes out into the air, because then 
you are losing some of the important food odors. Do not eat green 
peas, or Scotch peas, or yellow peas, or lentils, to excess* Re- 
member that thsy are very high in nutrition. 

BLUEBERRIES - are of great value to certain constitutions. They are 
good for the muscles. 

COCOANUT - is a fine food for the nerves, for the marrow of the 
bones, for the lung substance, and for the brain. 



ENDIVE 
raw. 



is high in Potassium. Cut it into small pieces and eat it 



LETTUCE - is a sleep producer. It contains soporific properties. 
It cures sleeplessness in some cases. 

OATMEAL - Steelcut oatmeal contains Silicon. Silicon is found, 
mainly, in the outside of the grain. Potassium is found in abund- 
ance in oats, 39$ of the salts, found in oats, is Silicon. It is 
of the greatest value to the sexual system, viz., the salt, and other 
principles found in oatmeal. Oatmeal contains a principle called 
avenin, which stimulates the sexual system and the' brain*. A man 
who is weak sexually, who has abused him s el© who v/ants to gain in 
manly strength, should fall back upon a heavy oatmeal diet. Cook 
oatmeal twenty- two hours in a fireless cooker, and make also oatmeal 
muffins, oatmeal bread, and other oatmeal dishes, and eat in abund- 
ance, but not more than you can assimilate.

PARSLEY - is an excellent food for one who suffers from sexual 
weakness. It contains a camphor of the greatest value to the sex 
"brain. It is also stimulating to the nerves. 

POTATOES - should be baked and eaten with the skin. You find 
Potassium salts in the skin. Take potato peelings and put parele 
parsley, endive, and other Potassium greens into the potato peel- 
ings, and cook them all together, and make a sort of a potato 
peeling broth; drink this, and you obtain more Potassium than you 
could by other methods of cookery. 

GERMAN PRUNES - contain twice as much potassium as American prunes. 
They contain all the salts needed in the body. Before the war, 
German prunes were selling at seventy-five cents a pound. Ameri- 
can prunes are low in the salts, but high in Potassium. Prunes 
contain important laxative principles, viz., Potassium, Phosphorus, 
Magnesium, and Sodium. 

SPINACH - should be cooked for three minutes in its own steam, 
poured on toast, and eaten with broiled ham. This makes a fine 
meal. We should not pour the spinach juice into the sink. 

BRAN - Some people think wheat bran is good for constipation, but 
it is not. If you chew bran slowly, and swallow the juice, you 
draw out the salts in the bran. This would help constipation, 
because it would sweeten the stomach, but it would not cure con- 
stipation. 

CARROTS - are excellent as a food. You can eat them raw, or 
grate them, or crush them, or grind them, or boil them. 

CARROT WATER - Drink it by. itself. It is better to drink than 
coffee. Drink carrot water instead of coffee, and you will be- 
come more healthy. 

GOOSEBERRIES - are low in salts, but high in Potassium. 

HEAT JUICE, RAW - is high in Chlorin, but low in Potassium. It 
has a stimulating effect upon the muscular tissues. 

PEACHES - are low in the salts, but high in Potassium. If you eat 
eat peaches' the proper way, they sweeten the stomach. 

R0MAI1TE - is a vegetable, rich in distilled water. It is high 
in Potassium. 

All vegetables contain the Vitamines in the seeds. It is not so 
easy to kill the Vitamines in Figs. Figs should be eaten raw; 
they are excellent. They contain sugar that is associated with 
the organo-metallic salts, for figs are rich in ash. We should, 
by right, wash figs before we eat them, for germs are likely to 
cling to figs. Worms always grow in figs, because they are rich 
in sugar, and because they are rich, also, in the Vitamines* In 
figs you cannot taste the Potassium because it is associated with 
sugar.

"We are eating ourselves into our graves without knowing it. After 
the age of about forty-five, we are in danger of eating too much. 
Lentils are rich .in Potassium. If we suffer from Potassium-Hunger, 
we should eat lentils. If you lack' Potassium, or if your system 
is not able to utilize Potassium foods, drink: Dandelion wine, as 
this vjould increase the Potassium-assimilating capacity in your sys- 
tem, so that you, thereby, may take up Potassium to a greater ex- 
tent. You can make Dandelion wine yourself. 

Potassium is one of the most virulent poisons there is- If the 
stomach is empty, and there is a lack of Chlorin and Sodium in the 
system, the Potassium in the nuts, or in the Olives, may poison you. 

We have, possibly, sixty or seventy different kinds of bitter teas. 
Potassium is the principal element in all of them. All sorts of 
bitter teas carry potassium. It is the potassium bitters, found 
in those teas, that is valuable. 

BONESET TEA - acts upon the liver. 

BURDOCK TEA - acts upon the muscles. 

CHAMOMILE TEA - acts upon the sexual system, and is very valuable 
in times of defective menstruation, or in times of leucorrhea. f$o 
other tea equals chamomile .tea for defective menstruation. 

CATNIP TEA - is excellent for gas in the stomach. 

DAHDELION TEA - acts upon the liver and blood. 

DAI7DELI0N Y7IHE - increases the potassium-assimilating capacity in 
the system, enabling the system to take up Potassium from foods. 

ELDERBERRY JUICE - is important for the motherhood function. In 
fact, no juice is so valuable as elderberry juice to the motherhood 
function. 

FLAXSEED TEA - is good for coughs, bronchitis and consumption* 

HOP TEA - is an excellent tea for the Medeic constitution. The 
Medeic impurities may be sent out of the system by drinking Hop Tea. 
This is also true in regard to Sassafras tea. Germs, vermin, 
insects, dislike the odor of sassafras. The gonorrheal germ 
feels uncomfortable under the influence of hop tea, or sassafras tea. 

LAUREL LEAVES - is a mild bitter tonic, contains tannin, and a 
trace of hydro-anic acid; it acts upon the cerebellum. 

MARJORAM TEA - contains a remarkable principle, which has a very 
beneficial effect on sexual excitement. It acts favorably upon 
the sex brain, sex glands, and sexual system of a man who suffers 
from satyriasis, or from self-abuse, or from some other ailment 
of the sexual system. Marjoram tea is highly favorable for ex- 
cessive tension in sexual glands, nerves, or cells. 

MUTT TEA, or - is excellent for gas in the stomach. Every one. 
PEPPERimTT TEA - should have peppermint tea, or mint herb, on hand* 
You ought to raise such herbs in your garden, and preserve the same 
for the winter. Such herbs that you buy in drug stores are never 
so good as those that you pick and dry yourself. The teas that you 
buy in drug stores have, often, lost their strength.

SAGE TEA - is good for colds. We can stimulate the circulatory 
system, and the sexual system, with strong sage tea, 

SARSAPARILLA TEA - acts upon the liver. There is no tea, or food, 
that acts directly upon the blood. It is only by passing through 
the liver that it can purify the blood. Anything that acts upon 
the liver, acts also upon the blood-stream indirectly, but never 
directly. 

SASSAFRAS TEA - contains and spreads an odor that germs, bed-bugs, 
fleas, chicken lice, cannot stand. It is even disagreeable to .

.QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS : 

1. Can a child get enough Potassium from the juice of spinach? 

A. - I would advise other foods for Potassium than spinach juice. 
Potassium is in the leaves to a greater extent than it is in the 
juice. 

2. Would a fall, resulting in a broken knee cap, which the doctors 
pronounce tuberculosis of the joint, be contagious, so that it' may 
be transmitted to people living in the same house? A. - No* 
tuberculosis is not contagious, unless the sputum containing the 
germs dries up, and floats about in the air, so that you inhale it, 
and at the same time inhale the germ. It is the only way that tu- 
berculosis is contagious. 

5. How long does it require Calcium food to be taken up by the sys- 
tem after eating? Will the sugar take out of the system the Cal*-- 
cium already organized? A« - It is difficult to tell how long it 
takes Calcium to be assimilated after eating. Calcium stays some 
time in the alimentary tract, and even after it is assimilated by 
the blood, it stays in the blood for some time before it is deposit- 
ed in the tissues. Hot/ long, no one knows. It may take- perhaps, 
anywhere from three days to two weeks. Of course, I do not know, 
but I rather think this is so. 

The sugar would go into the tissues, into the alimentary tract, and 
into the liver, and absorb the Calcium out of those tissues, and 
also out of the blood.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS : (Continued) 

4. How is Potassium obtained from the birch tree? Does fire de- 
stroy it? How is potassium best applied to plants? A* - No, 
fire cannot destroy Potassium. We obtain Potassium from the 
birch tree by burning it. Organic Potassium is better for plants 
than inorganic. Wood ash is better for plants than the potassium 
that comes from rocks, or from heavy soils. 

5. What is the best method of curing c, severe cold in the throat 
and lungs, in an Exes the sic lady? A. - Retire, and drink hot 
bitter teas. Do not eat anything. Sleep as much as possible, 
put hot applications on the stomach and bowels. 

6. Does a baby need Potash when the face is very red and rough? 
A. y That is no indication of lack of Potassium. Potassium- 
hunger has very different symptoms. 

7. Please tell how to eat cocoanut to get Chlorin, how much per 
day? Is the milk as good as the solid part? Should the skin 
be removed? A« - Eat cocoanut at meals. Grate it, or grind 
it up. Take about three table spoonsful. The milk is not so 
good as the solid part. You can eat the inner skin, it contains 
more Potassium. 

8. Can Amativeness be developed and virtue retained? A. - Yes. 
Amativeness has nothing to do with virtue, either one way or 
another. A man may be strong in Amativeness, and be as virtuous 
as an angel. He may be weak in Amativeness and be a sensualist. 
Amativeness is not lust. The best way to develop Amativeness is 
to admire the people of the opposite sex, and leave them alone, by 
cultivating- platonic love, and" the higher Christian virtues. 

9. What is the cause of running of tears from eyes when not in 
emotion? What indicates aching veins? • A. - It is nothing but 
weak sexuality. Of course, this is not the only tiling that pro- 
duces running tears, but it is one of those conditions that pro- 
duce running tears. Aching veins indicate that the blood is too 
sluggish in the veins, and that the liver is torpid. 

10. What causes the lips to dry and blister during cold and windy 
weather, and what helps tc take that soreness away? A# - The 
fatty substance and the moisture are drawn out from the lips, by 
cold and windy weather. Supply sufficient moisture, and the \ 
right kind of fat to the lips, and keep yourself warm, or stay ouc 
of the cold and wind. 

11. What is the cause of Erysipelas? A. - Erysipelas is caused 
by a germ. It is a contagious disease. 

12. If the regurgitation is in the aortic valve, should the pa- 
tient lie on the right side? A. - Yes. He should lie on the 
right side, and slight^ on the back. 



F-88 

13. Is filtered rain water the best to drink? A. — Yes. Filter- 
ed rain water is an excellent drink. Filtered rain water is distil- 
led water. Filter the rain water in a clean barrel, put a layer of 
charcoal, then a layer of washed white sand, then another layer of 
charcoal and a little layer of fine sand, and make layer upon layer 
until the barrel is full. Then let the water filter through slow- 
ly. You will thus have clean distilled water. 

14. What type of patients are bothered mostly by chapped hands? 
What is the cause of chapped hands? A. — Calcium types. Exes- 
thesic men and women are bothered very much by chapped hands. 
Chapped hands are an indication of a lack of the fatty element in 
the skin. Not all Calciferic people suffer from chapped hands, nor 
a great many Exesthesic. Chapped hands are a result of the lack of 
the fatty element in the body, or in the skin. Dryness in the tis- 
sues; lack of animal heat in the skin; lack of skin food, or Silicon. 
Of course, no one would suffer from chapped hands unless he is out 
in wind, cold, frost and dryness. Some suffer from chapped hands 
because germ life inhabits the skin, or because germs are at work 

at the surface of the skin, producing skin disease of some kind. 

15. How can we determine whether it is excess, or a deficiency, of 
some. certain chemical element, that a patient suffers from? A. — 
We can always determine this by the difference in the symptoms. It 
may be true that symptoms may be similar, but they are never identi- 
cal. If a patient suffers from excess, there are symptoms that 
appear from excess of a certain chemical element which never appear 
in times of deficiency. 

16. Is Potassium needed in a mental break-down, from excessive mental 
strain? A. - Yes. A Potassium diet is needed in cerebellar and 
muscular prostration. 

17. How long does the average patient have to subsist upon a speci- 
fic diet before results may be obtained? A. - This depends upon 
how soon the constitution responds to the element. The longer you 
go without supplying the element needed, the longer it takes for 
your system to assimilate it. If a constitution has been robbed 

of Sodium for a long, long time, and we begin to supply Sodium, that 
same man may become sick, simply because his constitution cannot ac- 
commodate itself to the Sodium element. It may "take a month, or 
six months, possibly longer, before the body assimilates that lost 
food element, in normal quantities, 

18. How much ash is found in Persimmons? A. - 0.96$, or nearly 
one percent. 

19. Which is the best part of the carrot, the inside, or the part 
near the surface? Does the carrot contain any Potassium? A, — 
The Potassium salts are distributed through the whole carrot, nearly 
equally, but most Potassium salts are found in the peelings, never- 
theless. Carrots contain nearly one percent of organo-metallic 
salts, and of those organo-metallic salts it contains 36.90$ of 
Potash; 21.20$ of Sodium; 11,50$ of Calcium; 4.40$ of Magnesium; 
21.00$ of Iron; 12,80$ of Phosphorus; 0.45$ of Sulphur; 2.49$ of 
Silicon; 4.60$ of Chlorin; a trace of Manganese, and also a trace of 
Fluor in.

QUESTIONS AND A NSWE RS : ( C ont i nue d ) 

20* Do breathing exercises after meals interfere with digestion, 
*.or do they benefit it? Likewise bowel exercises?' A, — 
Vigorous exercises are not beneficial after meals. If you 
take any kind of exercises after meals, let it be walking and 
breathing exercises. If you take vigorous physical culture 
exercises after meals, it will interfere with digestion, by 
drawing the blood to other parts of the body. 

21. Is it possible to reduce a goitre of two years standing in a 
man of sixty— five years? What diet and applications are best 
for it? A. — He is too old, unless he is vigorous in vi- 
tality, and youthful in appearance. An lodin diet is good 
for him. He could not, perhaps, extract the salts from the 
foods supplied. 

22. Should a Potassium and Sodium diet always go together to avoid 
exhaustion of Sodium, when a Potash diet is given? A. — 
As a general rule, except when Potassium has been exhausted 
for seme cause. L Potassium diet always requires a heavy 
Sodium and Chlorin diet. It is well to remember, also, that 
Sodium and Chlorin are elements that are used every hour of 
the day in every man, woman and child. 

23. Is Potassium especially indicated in albuminuria? A. — No, 
but Chlorin is. 



24. Do you mean that excess of Potassium has the same symptoms as 
a lack of Potassium? A. — Yes. The symptoms are similar, 
but not identical. There are great differences in symptoms 
between Potassium— hunger and Potassium-excess, as you would 
learn if you were to place Potassium-excess symptoms, and 
Potassium-hunger symptoms in contrast. 

25. What would you do in a case where Potassium is lacking? 
Also, Chlorin and Sodium? You say that Chlorin and Sodium 
foods should be omitted. A. -,In times of Potassium-hunger 
the chances are that Sodium and Chlorin are in excess, or, at 
least, one of those elements. And in that case, we should 
cut out that element which is in excess. If both are in ex- 
cess, it would be better to supply Potassium only. Cf course, 
you will understand that it would be almost impossible to cut 
out Sodium and Chlorin supply entirely, for all foods contain 
Sodium and Chlorin to a certain extent, although some foods 
are comparatively lacking in those elements. 



F-90 



26. Give your opinion on wearing corsets, belts, and supporters, 
or anything that obstructs circulation. A. — Tightness, 
or pressure upon the stomach, neck, or any part of the body, 
interferes with the circulation of the blood in those very 
parts. Ue should never produce pressure upon the skin, nor 
on the circulatory vessels, nor upon any of the parts, nor 
organs, throughout the entire body. Any pressure upon any 
part of the body produces ailments of some kind, in the course 
of time. 



27. How much sassafras tea, and how many currants, should .©ne 

drink and eat daily to get the Medeic taint out of the system, 
and how long should one take them? A. - A Medeic taint is 
simply a taint. It would perhaps require from sixty days to 
one 3?"ear, or longer, to eliminate a Medeic taint from the 
system. 



28. What can we advise for high blood pressure? A. — That de- 
pends upon the cause. There are many causes of high blood 
pressure. The main thing to do is to remove the cause first. 
There may, perhaps, be from ten to twenty causes, or more, 
of high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a general symp- 
tom, and does not mean much, until we know what caused it. It 
may mean anything, or nothing. Some types of people have 
normally high blood pressure. 



29. Is one likely to get too much Potassium in foods? A. - Yes, 
it is possible to get too much Potassium from the eating of 
certain foods. If we eat high Potassium foods at every meal, 
day after day, month after month, and year after year, in the. 
course of time, there will be an excessive supply of Potassium 
in the body. And if there is Potassium-excess, there would, 
necessarily, be a Sodium and, Chlorin hunger also; for Potassium 
always lowers the supply of Sodium and Chlorin. 

m 

30, Is not Potassium— excess found in people who have been drugged 
with Potassium drugs? A. — It is possible to develop Potas- 
sium-excess symptoms and poisoning merely by drinking drugs 
that are high in Potassium. If you take Potassium-carrying 
drugs for a long, long time, you will, lastly, become a wreck, 
and no one can ever cure you.

Silicon is- contained in the out/side cf oats. People who use 
their brains a great deal use up the Phosphorous element. If 
they do not eat foods that are high in Silicon eventually the sys- 
tem becomes acid. Phosphorous products lead to acidicy. The 
starch in potatoes is a very different starch than the starch in | 
oats. A diabetic can tolerate the starch in oats, but the starch 



in sugar, potatoes, or rice, passes 



through 



is kidneys. 



Oats is a valuable food. You may think that wheat is the king of 
cereals, but barley is a much better food for man, and oats are 
still better, provided the outside of the oats has not been milled 
away. The miller takes almost all the outside and gives us only 
the inside. All chemicals needed in the human system are found 
in cat's. The outside of the oats contains Silicon to the extent 
of o9% of the salts. Meat and vegetables do not contain as much 
Silicon as oats. Avena sativa contains avenin, and has a remark- 
ably tonic effect upon the entire sexual system.

A certain amount of Silicon is used by the various functions. It 
is celled free Silicon consumption. The Silicon that is used in 
the tissues, in the secretions and in carrying on the functions of 
life, is called free Silicon. We must absolutely supply the Sil- 
icon that is needed. Some is needed every day. It is impossi- 
ble to build good nails, solid tissue, a good skin, or to grow 
beautiful hair, without Silicon. Fall back upon a Silicon diet 
and take care of your hair roots, if you want good hair. You -.'.'. 
will be surprised how glossy your hair becomes in a very short 
time. Women of the Silicon type have the longest and the most 
beautiful hair of all women. 

When a grandfather becomes weak and sick, we ought to give him 
various oatmeal dishes, so he can regain his former strength. 
Also give him raw egg yolk. We can keep well and strong, and 
live a. long time, unless the digestive system gives out- When it 
gives out, we cannot digest food. When a man cannot digest food, 
nor assimilate it, he is beyond repair. So long as food can be 
digested, utilized, and waste matter eliminated, we can build up 
arsin, and make a new man out of an old man. We can make blood, 
ov.il d a new stomach, and a new set of bones in seven years. So 
long as food can be digested and utilised, that long it is possi- 
ble to build and rebuild. 

The alkaline food salts e»re Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium, Silicon. 
Those are the food elements that we must absolutely fall back upon, 



F-9£ 

Magnesium is the most essential for the nerves and brain- Silicon 
acts- upon all sorts of solid tissue, which must be made strong; also 
upon the skin and hair. Silicon makes the more solid tissues, alka- 
line. Potassium makes the muscles and vital organs more alkaline. 
Magnesium acts upon Phosphorous products. Sodium keeps Calcium in 
solution and acts upon the blood and digestive juices. After the 
tissues become acid, we get sick and no doctor can cure us. You 
may go to a hospital, and be operated on, but when you come out you 
are as acid as when you went in. You have just as much acid in you 
as ever-. If you do not fall back on Sodium, Silicon, Potassium r 
and Magnesium, the Almighty's remedies-, which He puts into foods to 
make the tissues alkaline, it is impossible to get well. So long 
as the tissues are alkaline we can keep well. Those alkaline pro- 
perties are the Almighty's remedies. He is a better specialist 
than any specialist in our hospitals. T believe the Almighty under- 
stands His business. He puts those elements into the human organi- 
sation to keep it alkaline. Silicon should never be forgotten. Sil- 
icon is found in . barley and oats, but barley is acid producing. 
Oatmeal food is more beneficial to the human organization. 

The sheep is a Silicon animal. The goat is a Silicon animal. The 
goat always likes high places. People with considerable Silicon in 
their organization always like high places. Goats and other Sili- 
con animals are fond of Silicon-containing feed", grasses, leaves and 
grains. You can put any kind of food in front of goats, but if you 
put oats in front of them, they devour the oats first. 

There is nothing better for impotence than oatmeal, raw egg yolk, 
Iron, Phosphorus and sleep* Any one suffering from sexual weakness 
will become more invigorated by such a diet. If a wife would fall 
back on an oatmeal diet, she would be more able to retain her hus- 
band's affection. 

Neurosis is a nerve habit, as, for instance, the ll \7riter*s cramp 11 . 
In such an ailment, Silicon, Sulphur, and Neurolin are used up. in the 
nerve. Neurosis is in the nerves. In times of nervous debility, 
fall back upon oatmeal. Cook the oatmeal twenty— two hours in a 
fireless cooker. Eat oatmeal muffins. The}' are essential in an 
alkaline diet. So long as the tissues are acid; so long as there 
is acidity in the secretions; so long as the sexual system is acid, 
that long we will be weak and sickly. 

Silicon has a remarka.ble effect upon the intellect, or that part that 
thinks and observes. Take out that part of the brain and we are as 
helpless as babies, yet we may have as strong a will as we ever hail. 
Then we are human beings without intellect. We are next to animals. 
The monkey has no brain in front of the fissure of Rolando; it has 
no tophead. A man has a different head from the monkey. A man 
has a large tophead. He also has an intellect, which a monkey 
never did have and never will have. 



Love acts as an invigorating tonic, and is of the greatest value in 
sickness. A love life often cures some people. It is not general- 
ly known that Formic acid is of value to the brain, and to the per- 
formance of the functions in some of the tissues. When there is a 
lack of Formic acid, there will be a lack of the necessary salts, and 
thsn there is a. greater tendency to insanity. The insane people

in the hospitals are people in whom those important salts are lack- 
ing. 

If a man does not have any Silicon, he lacks "sand", or courage. 
Silicon increases courage. Silicon people are never afraid- A 
Silicon man would fight' a half dozen other men. It gives a man, 
as stated before, "sand" and courage. 

Vaccination serum is harmful to the tissues. That serum breaks 
down important salts. Oatmeal diet is important in times of such 
infection- Silicon, in connection with Potassium, prevents para- 
lysis , 'When the cerebellum contracts to such an extent that it 
carnot obtain blood, the patient is paralyzed". Sometimes you may 
suffer from sewer gas poison; then you should fall back on a Sili- 
con diet. Silicon has a beneficial effect upon the various tis- 
sues of the body. 

If you show the children where there is a. sand— pile, they will run 
to it and play in it from morning till" night. If a child suffers 
from eczema, give him a Silicon diet and let him play in a sand- 
pile, when the sun is shining down on him. 

Silicon is beneficial for the nerves, the canal walls, the alimen- 
tary tract,, the lungs, and to the entire system. If children are 

not supplied with Silicon, they suffer from catarrh. Catarrh 
develops in membranous tissue, or in canal walls. If we supply 
Silicon in abundance, we become more alkaline; we feel as if we 
could do anything. A Silicon man is here, there, and everywhere. 
He is like a goat- He likes to be high in the air. The go?.t 
likes to get up among the highest rocks- Silicon people are elas- 
tic and prone to exaggerate. They see everything through magnify- 
ing glasses (imagination). It is rothing else than hyperbolism. 
They exaggerate. Alkaline people are imaginative. They are 
busy all of the time. When they are not talking, they are sing- 
ing. Silicon people are just like goats in disposition. You 
find' Silicon people mostly among the Swiss. The Swiss girls have 
the most beautiful hair in the world. 

I have never seen a Silicon type talk long on any one subject. 
There are two elements that make us feel important: One is Sili- 
con, the other is Phosphorus. If there is an excess of Phosphorus 
a. man feels like a king. He walks with a stately bearing. The 
only difference between Silicon people and Phosphorus people, is 
that Silicon people talk, while Phosphorus people stand and look. 
The Silicon man talks all the time, looking this way and that way, 
in every direction. He talks on a thousand different subjects- 
He acts like a goat. 

The Silicon man is sociable, just like the goat. If you buy a 
goat, be sure you buy two. If you do not buy two, you will lose 
the one you buy. That is the way of goats* The Silicon man is 
the same. Ho can never be by himself. A Silicon man does not 
need very much sleep. He may retire at one and sleep until four. 
Some Desmogen:'. o people do not require very much sleep. Silicon 



people never live to be very eld. They become so excessively ac- 
tive that they simply wear themselves out. They are like electri- 
cal motors. Full of activity. They think anything they go into 
will succeed". They are moved by a. child— like hyperbolism. 

There is a similarity between Silicon hunger and tuberculosis. Both 
affect the pa.tientsto such an extent that they become anxious about 
themselves. They cannot forget themselves for one minute of the 
time. They tell you all about themselves. They talk about their 
symptoms, diseases, diet, and wants. They are not interested in 
the scheme of the world. They just want to talk about their own 
selves, 'and their own ailments. 

Silicon hunger patients think they are going to die. They cannot 
bear noise. Wien they are tired, they cannot get hold of their 
thoughts; they cannot form ideas; they cannot recall subjects. They 
feel as if they are losing their minds. They may have everything 
they could wish for, but they think they have nothing to live for. 

"When a doctor gets hold of a. Silicon patient, he is likely to send 
him to an asylum for the insane.. If you are a doctor you should 
build your sanitarium in the hills, where the goats thrive, in a high 
altitude, a sandy soil.

They have very little con-

tarrh somewhere. They are 
foods that are rich in the 
ch, fat, and sugar from 
ds that are rich in Silicon. 



When you are using your intellect, you are also using your cerebel- 
lum, because you can never talk or reason without using cerebellar 
energy;; it is the function of Silicon to supply cerebellar energy. 
If you feel exhausted, or over-worked, fall back on Silicon. It 
does not feed your brain, nor your nerves, but it stimulates them. 
That is the way Silicon acts. It tones up the cerebellum and the 
motor nerves. YJhen there is a normal amount of Silicon in the sys- 
tem, the brain and the nerves are stronger. Increase the Silicon 
and the nerves become strong. But if you do not work you cannot as- 
similate Silicon. Silicon requires action. When we labor, we take 
up a greater amount of Silicon. But if we sit around, ride in auto- 
mobiles, never walk, we do not take up Silicon, and we grow weaker. 
TThy is it that society ladies are always sick and in the doctor's 
care? They need work and a Silicon diet.

When Silicon is in excess, and" when it is lacking, it affects the 
nervous system. A Silicon hunger patient complains that his- teeth 
ara aching. Pathophobia is a disease which causes him to think 
th?s£ ether diseases are creeping upon him, and he thinks that he 
can never get cured". Alkaline diseases and alkaline gout, so far 
as I know, we can never touch with diet* When the cerebellum is 
exhausted", you suffer from a neurasthenia called" psychentonia; you 
caimot memorize, you cannot see, nor hear as you should". 

V7hen the alkaline elements are too excessive, it results in suffer- 
ing in the solid structures of the body. Too much Silicic acid 
causes suppuration in the bones," and in the membranes. The Sili- 
con constitution is subject to excessive energy, which is also the 
case with the Desmogenic, and the Nervi-Motive, but the Desmogenic 
never suffers from the same kind of ailments as the Sillevitic. 

If the frontal sinuses become catarrhal, you suffer from a catarrh, 
because there should be a free outlet through the frontal sinuses. 
There is a sieve-like bone at the root of the nose, leading up in- 
to the brain; if this is filled" up with catarrhal mucus, your 
thinking, memory, concentration and health are all affected unfa- 
vorably. 

The nose has another function besides that of inhaling air for the 
lungs, and that is the function of communication with the brain. 
If there is a stoppage in the nose, the perspiration of the brain 
is retarded, resulting in brain heat, coryza, stupidity, and lack 
of energy in the brain's function, The perspiration cannot pass 
down into the nose. If the frontal sinus is closed up, there 
will be a multiplicity of ailments. Uhen there is a lack of Sil- 
icon, these nasal canals become catarrhal and are filled up with 
mucus, or phlegm, resulting in sickness. Our memory and faculty 
of understanding, and other mental faculties, are inefficient. A 
certain amount of evaporative moisture passes from the brain 
through the nose, every hour. If the nasal canals and the eth- 
moid bone are congested, the brain avenues of elimination are 
closed, resulting in colds, catarrh, disturbances of the brain, 
headache, and other ailments. 

A great many people drink mineral waters. 'We have heard from a 
great many sources that mineral waters are healthy, in various 
diseases. The climate, at all mineral springs, is usually benefi- 
cial, and the altitude favorable. "When a man or woman goes away 
from his own neighborhood, or his own city, and goes to another 
place, that same man, or woman, is in new surroundings. Climate, 
altitude, everything are different, If you took away the mineral 
water, there would be the same results, yet we are told it is the 
mineral water that does the work. Very often, also, when the pa- 
tient returns from the mineral spring, he is just as sick as he 
was before. In the majority of cases, those mineral waters do 
very little good. Mineral waters contain inorganic salts that do 
harm. 

We should always remember that the human body is organic. And" 
we should remember that everything we put into the body should be 



F-96 

organic also. If we can find mineral springs in which the minerals 
that the water contains are organic; those salts would" be beneficial 
to the human body. All substances, or foods, or liquid's, that go 
into the human body should be organic. If we drink mineral waters 
for any length of time, we will socn suffer from some kind of ail- 
ments. Hardening processes will take place in the body. The kid- 
neys may have so much work to do that they may give out. 

The kidneys may take up those inorganic salts. The kidneys cannot 
do the work when there will be kidney disease. Tfe should never _ 
d£lnk mineral water. If we can find a mineral water that contains 
the organic salts, we may drink it, but not until then. 

So long as a. doctor does, not know what kind of salts the body needs, 
and so long as he does not know which food salts are beneficial for 
certain symptoms, he is not a desirable doctor. If you ask physi- 
cians why they recommend some special mineral water, they may say, 
because it contains Iron, or carbonic acid, or, bicarbonate of Sodi- 
um. If you ask whether it makes any difference whether you take in- 
organic or organic mineral water, they will tell you that it is one 
and the same thing. Doctors should be very careful in regard to 
that which goes into the human machine; of that which we eat and drink. 
<*Wny should we drink mineral water any way?"' 

We can find the necessary elements in foods. If we need Silicon, we 
find that in oats and barley. . If we need Calcium, we find it in 
milk and cheese. If we need Chlorin, we find it in sauer-kraut. We 
find Sulphur in all sorts of cabbages. We find arsenic in grapes. 
Why should we go to mineral springs for those elements, when we can 
find them in foods? 

If we need a higher altitude we can go to the hills. We have one 
of the finest hills we could find a. few miles from Chicago, at Blue 
Mound, Wisconsin. When we want a vacation, we do not need to go to 
Karienbad. Another thing we should remember is that different tem- 
peraments require different altitudes. One doctor sent an Exesthe- 
sic lady to Pike's Peak. Long before she reached Pike l s Peak, blood 
came out of her nose and mouth. You cannot cure anybody with poison, 
and poison is what they study in most medical colleges. Studying 
poison will never enable us to cure man of his diseases. 

The medical colleges should teach us the value of climate and alti- 
tude; the chemistry of the human body, the chemistry of foods, the 
peculiar tendencies, diseases and functions of the body. If we were 
taught those facts in medical colleges, we could cure people, and 
people would not talk against doctors, as they do now. 

Because doctors cannot cure their patients, they send them to mineral 
springs to be cured. When patients go there and get well, it is be- 
cause of the high altitude and favorable environments, and not on ac- 
count of the waters. When there are unfavorable conditions at home, 
it has a. bad affect upon health. 

Perhaps it is the work the patient is doing that makes him sick. If 
he is a bookkeeper and sits all day, the mathematical centres in the 
brain become weak, because he over-works those centres of his brain. 
Too much blood is brought to the mathematical centres and they become 
weak. The blood congests. When the vital centres become congested,

there is trouble with the stomach. When the vital areas become 
congested, there is lack of nerve force. No energy is transmit- 
ted. The mechanism is weakened'. T7e need all the knowledge we 
can get in order to cure people. We- need electricity and all the 

"elegies"- combined, and still more. We need knowledge of diet, 
and still more. We never can know too much, when it is a ques- 
tion of health. 

We cannot cure a man who is filled with impurities by putting 
poison into him. T7e must eliminate those impurities. 

Silicon is needed when a. patient thinks that something, or some- 
body is after him, K man who suffers from Silicon hunger is in 

the same kind of condition as an electrical motor that has run it- 
eel f out. Now he sleeps so you cannot wake him; then he cannot 
sleep. When he tries to talk to you he tires quickly. He 
thinks there is some disease at work in his system. 

I believe that if we would supply oatmeal, egg yolk, Neurolin, and 
Marjoram tea. in abundance, to men, they would never commit self— 
abuse. Put such patients on a heavy oatmeal diet, egg yolk diet, 
Marjoram tea; give them cold applications on the central section 
of the body; sudden cold applications and plenty of massage; tell 
them to go on top of a high building and go through all sorts of 
massage; let the sun shine on the nude body, let them fall in 
love, and they will soon be cured. 

Weak kidneys require a Silicon diet. The function of Silicon is 
to keep parts in a first-class alkaline condition. A Silicon 
hunger patient complains of being cold on the left side. Put a 
St. Vitus dance patient on a heavy oatmeal diet; keep him away 
from schorl; put him in a. room all by himself and keep that room 
dark; let him sleep much; pay no attention to him; do not talk 
about him, because when he hears, it his ailment will grow worse. 
Chorea is a Silicon symptom. We call it a disease, but it is 
nothing but a symptom, a result of a wrong diet. 

You cannot massage Silicon into a patient, but give him a Silicon 
diet together with the treatment. A Silicon patient always stag- 
gers to the right side, never to the left. 

Silicon is needed when the canals of the body close up (stenosis). 
When a patient cells you that his arm is upstairs and his foot is 
down in the basement, he suffers from Silicon hunger. Silicon 
is needed when a. patient craves stimulants. 

When we know the symptoms and ailments peculiar to Silicon hunger, 
we know the cure. 

The cerebellum, in times of pregnancy, works like a factory. 
That is also the case in a Silicon hunger patient. There is a 
peculiar cerebellar pulsation in the pregnant mother; also in the 
Silicon man.

A man. who does not have Silicon in abundance in his system and be- 
comes a father, does not transmit himself properly. That is one 
cause of defective offspring. Tie should give to our children the 
best we can give them* It is better to give children health and 
character, than it is to give them a million dollars. 

Supply Silicon for the teeth in growing children. 

The word, "Phosphorus-" means - to carry light; *phos u means - light; 
"phor Ui means — to carry. Carry light, or intelligence. It is the 
element of intelligence. The Silicon element works- in membranes, 
bones, ligaments, skin, teeth, and solid tissue. Phosphorus works 
in the brain. If there is no Phosphorus, there is no cerebration. 

If your patient suffers from headache, put hot applications on his 
head. If his headache stops then, it is a sign that he lacks Sili- 
con. Massage will .not cure that kind of headache* 

One peculiarity of patients is, that if anything is wrong with any 
part of the body they always carry the hand to that, part, unconscious- 
ly. You may be sure that is where the trouble is. If it is his 
head, his face, the sexual system, he carries his hand there. An 
insane man carries his hand to his head* He tries to think. His 
eyes are wide open, as if something is wrong. Coming insanity has 
this symptom also. 

When you see a little boy on whom, all at once, there is a heavy per- 
spiration on head and face, you know that Silicon is lacking in that 
boy. ■ w"hen you have studied hard and have been deeply interested in 
your studies, at last the brain gives out and you do not care to 
think, or study, any longer. Your enthusiasm disappears. You lose 
interest in your studies. V/hen you know those symptoms, you know 
there is a lack of Silicon and lecithin. 

A Silicon hunger patient feels that he is going insane. He is sure 
of it, and you cannot make him believe otherwise. Suppose you want 
to experiment; you take your patient and give him foods high in Sil- 
icon and no other foods and keep that patient on that diet and watch 
him. Ask him all sorts of questions. The constitution that fcacks 
Silicon is the one to experiment with. You must not take a Sili- 
con type. If I wanted to experiment, I would take a man who al- 
ready suffers from excessive Silicon consumption, and therefore Sili- 
con hunger. Simply stuff him with Silicon foods. Then write down 
those peculiar symptoms which he never had before. fthen you exper- 
iment that way, you will learn things you never knew before. It 
certainly is interesting. The more you understand types of people, 
the more interesting those experiments become. 

Remember that Silicon is found in the outside, or in the peelings, 
which is usually thrown away. TThen we peel off the outside, we cut 
away all those important elements that the Almighty put there for us. 
And when we get sick, we think we can get well and healthy by patron- 
izing drug stores. Ttfhen the housewife peels away all the important 
elements, and feeds us only the inside, she cooks us into the hospi- 
tal • 

All foods that enter the human machine should be organic, because we 
are organic, so everything must be organized. We should go to the

vegetable and animal kingdoms for everything we need in the w&y of 
minerals. 

Do not let anyone lead you to think that Vitamines are found in 
the juices of foods. The juices are fine: but they do not con- 
tain the Vitamines. Everything that produces life contains the 
Vitamines. If you eat the raw seels, the principles that germi- 
nate and grow, you get the Vitamines. If you boil the seeds, you 
kill the Vitamines. If you eat boiled food, you eat dead food. 
If you eat boiled foods you do not get all of the salts. If you 
do not eat the seeds raw, then you do not get the Vitamines. The 
Vitamines are always in the seeds. You get the Vitamines in egg 
yolk, if you eat it raw. 



FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED: 

BARLEY, (UNPEARLED) - is one of the best Silicon foods. Never 
eat pearl barley, because almost all of the salts have been taken 
out. Get the whole barley and buy a mill, and mill the barley 
yourself. 

Some barley preparations are hard to digest. If there is a ten- 
dency to fermentation in the system, you should not eat barley. 
Then eat oatmeal. If you are somewhat fleshy do not eat barley. 
Eat oatmeal; it will make you lean. Barley will make you fat. 
If you must put on flesh, and it your kidneys are strong, eat bar- 
ley and you will gain flesh. 

If a, patient has sores in his mouth, put him on a heavy barley 
diet. Give him barley drinks. If you are lean, a barley diet 
makes you fleshy* If you are fleshy, ycu can reduce on an oat- 
meal diet. 

OATMEAL - If you are a Desmogenic type, you are active in the 
brain. Then you would gain on an oatmeal diet. Oatmeal is the 
highest Silicon food there is- Silicon is on the outside of the 
grain, and not on the inside. Be sure the oatmeal you eat con- 
tains Silicon. 

RICE — is very low in salts, and low in Silicon. It is inferior 
to oatmeal. 

ASPARAGUS - The best asparagus is found in California. There is 
no corrosive acid in asparagus. It contains Silicon, to a cer- 
tain extent. 

BEECHNUTS - contain nearly 3$ of Silicon, 

CABBAGE - is an interesting food. Sauer-kraut is better than cab- 
bage, as it contains more Chlorin. Sauer-kraut is excellent for 
the nervous system. It has a cooling effect upon the brain. The 
Oxypheric has too much heat i"\ the blood, nerves, and brain. The 
Oxypheric is an active talker .nd uses his brain, When the

brain is on fire, the liver and the nerves are also on fire. This 
is excess of Oxygen. The brain and nerves are turning up. They 
need" sauer-kraut and mulberry juice in abundance; also perspiration 
to get rid of some of the heat. They must tnir. that heat in the 
liver and the blood' into steam, or perspiration. Put them to sleep, 
and give them plenty of sauer-kraut, or any food that reduces heat. 

CUCUMBERS - If you eat too many cucumbers you may suffer from neu- 
ritis. But cucumbers is a. good, cooling food. 

FIGS - are high in salts and sugar. You find plenty of worms in 
figs, You find worms either on the outside, or on the inside, or 
both. If you eat figs, you will eat worms, but that does not make 
any difference. The fig worms can never hurt you. We should eat 
figs: because they are rich in 
figs and cannot take care of 
extra sugar may be converted 

HORSERADISH - is a stimulating food. It stimulates the brain, blood 
and tissues. ^Te should not prepare horseradish in vinegar. It is 
better to grate it and prepare it in a more natural way. It does 
not contain much Silicon. If you have a taint in your system, and 
want to drive it out, horseradish will drive that impurity to the 
Surface of the skin, and may produce eczema as a result. If you 
suffer from eczema you are healthy, or you need vegetable salts. 
Horseradish drives impurities to the surface of the skin. 

LETTUCE - contains Silicon, in addition to other salts, and is a 
good food. 

MILE - Pasteurized milk is not a good food. Pasteurization kills 
the Vitamines. It is a bad practice. Instruct the milkman to wash 
his hand and clean his pails, and have the cow washed, so that every- 
thing is clean before he milks. If a germ gets into the milk, there 
will be millions of germs, because germs multiply tremendously in 
milk. There is very little Silicon in cow's milk, but there is more 
Silicon in goat's milk. Goat's milk is closest to mother's milk. 
It is high in Chlorin and lactic acid. That is the reason that 
goat's mi He passes through the alimentary tract in a little baby, 
while mother's milk may constipate the little bowels of the baby. 
Evaporated goat's milk is a very fine product. The real goat's milk 
comes from the Toggenburg goat. 

SPINACH - is low in Silicon. 

STRAWBERRIES - are high in Silicon and contain many salts. They are 
also rich in Sodium.

LECTURE NOTES . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICA LS. SUBJECT-MANGA NESE 

REMARKS : Manganese is one of the elements in the human body, hu- 
man tissues, in the secretions, and utilized by the functions. 

MANGANESE, ITS NATURE AND CHARACTE RISTICS : Manganese has the same 
relative influence upon the human tissue as it has on metal ware, 
and' as it has on metals in general. If the human body is well 
supplied with Manganese, the various tissues, cells themselves, and 
the nerves, become more ductile, tensile, elastic. If the Manga- 
nese element is lacking in the tissues, in the nerves, in the cells, 
there will be stiffness in the cells, also. It will nc J only be 
stiffness, but also inactivity in the cells. The man is dull in 
his reasoning; his memory is poor; he is not able to express his 
ideas nor handle his knowledge so successfully. His mind is some- 
what dull; he is stupid; his mentality, receptivity, or brain 
cells, do not respond. 

If the Manganese element is lacking in the school boy, or school 
girl, she is not able to understand. The teacher thinks that the 
girl is not up to the mark, that there is a screw loose, or some- 
thing lacking in the girl, or boy. Manganese has a very import- 
ant affect upon the brain, as we will see later on. 

If Manganese is lacking in the brain, there is never that conscious 
vibratory action in the cells themselves, there is never the re- 
sponse; never the transmission of knowledge from cell to cell. 
There is a certain photographic process going on in the cells them- 
selves. A man said the other day, that he had reached the limit 
in his investigation, and told us that the brain cells themselves 
never last longer than about six months. The fact of the matter 
is that the life of the cell is only six weeks. This is the 
length of life of almost any cell. So soon as a cell dies, a new 
cell must take the place of the one that died. You can readily 
perceive that, when cells die by the millions, almost every day, 
there must be some kind of photographic process going on in the 

brain; that those associations, experiences, facts that we have 
learned may be remembered, for if they were produced by those dead 
cells, we could never remember, never learn anything. We learn, 
perhaps, a certain fact at the age of seven, and remember that 
fact at the age of ten, fifteen, twenty, fifty, sixty, or one hun- 
dred years, showing that facts and knowledge, etc., are not for- 
gotten, although cells die each day. 

How does it happen that a* man can remember a certain fact all his 
life, considering that cells are dying by the millions every fleet- 
ing moment? How is it that we remember that which we learn, con- 
sidering the fact that the cells die all of the time? There must 
be something behind the cells, the knowledge in the cells, the 
memory in the cells, the feeling in the cells, the passion or im- 
pulses in the cells. Yet, these cells are dying every fleeting 
moment. Although the cells die, we retain our memories. 

Here is where Manganese comes in to help the living, pulsating soul 
to carry out that photographic process by mean f<f whicn transmis- 
sion of knowledge takes place frrn cell to cell" , All the cells 






F-102 

are engaged in that same photographic process which is carried out 
by means of the element - Manganese. If you lack Manganese, there 
will be a weakness in the photographic process, so that you cannot 
learn, nor memorize; nor answer questions, even if you have the 
knowledge; because the cells are too slow in acting. The brain it- 
self must act in unison, and act quickly. The cells themselves 
must act at one and the same time; they must act in harmony one with 
the other, and perhaps a million, or ten million, or perhaps a bil- 
lion cells must act at one and the same time, If we do not have 
Manganese that process of transmission cannot be done. It is the 
Manganese element that enables all of those cells to act synergical- 
ly, or in harmony. 

FUNCTION S OF MANGANE SE IN T HE H UMAN ORGANIZATION : I have not ex- 
perimented much with Manganese. When I experimented with the Mang- 
anese element, I did so on the most intellectual people that I could" 
find. I know that the Manganese element is more in demand in peo- 
ple who are of the Nervi-Motive Constitution, and that it is more 
in demand in people who are Neurogenic, or in all people who use 
their brain more than they use their muscles. Manganese is not 
much in demand by a man who is a. mere physical worker. In experi- 
menting with these people, I selected one young woman who was a stu- 
dent in the University, and a young man, at the same time, who was 
very bright in certain lines of studies, but different from those 
lines, which the young woman was taking up. 

Yfe are not generally informed regarding that which we call rheuma- 
tism and gout. We would be surprised to learn how different gout 
is in different types of patients. Gout has many different symp- 
toms. For instance: In one gouty patient appears perspiration al- 
ways at night. Such gouty patients are simply floating in perspir- 
ation. There are gouty patients so dry that you could not press 
out one single drop of perspiration, not even if you boiled your pa- 
tient. Why should there be such differences in various gouty pa- 
tients, or in rheumatic patients? Why should there be such a dif- 
ference between gout and gout? We find in one patient a lack of 
Sodium as a. cause of gout, in another patient a lack of lime salts 
as a cause of gout, or lack of Silicon, or lack of Manganese. 

In each case, in studying the various ailments and symptoms, we must 
understand the differences in symptoms, then we know what special 
elements are lacking in each case. As we go on. we will notice the 
peculiarities of those patients who suffer from excess of Manganese, 
and those who suffer from a lack of Manganese. 

If a man suffers from some kind of venereal miasm, we cannot do any- 
thing better than to give him foods that are rich in Sulphur, Manga- 
nese and Fluorin. It is not easy to cure a man who suffers from 
sexual disease, without supplying all of those food elements, in his 
general diet. You may be able to kill the germs in a syphilitic 
patient; you may be able to drive the germ out of the system, but 
you cannot drive out the taint, because the taint is left in the bo- 
dy of that man, in the cells, in the blood, in the brain. That mi- 
asm is the thing you cannot drive out with medicine. You may kill 
the germ, but you cannot drive the bacterial toxin out of the system 
with anything else than with certain food salts. If we supply the 
various food salts from day to day, and keep it up from year to year, 
eventually we can reconstruct that man. That is the way to cure.

To cure, you must build a new man. That is the only way you can 
cure. Build yourself new; a. new stomach, new heart, new bones, 
new^ brain, new organs throughout, that is the only way you can get 
cured", viz., by methods of cell processes, cell development, cell 
sublimation and purification. 

There are certain elements or remedies that have a counteracting 
effect upon certain cancerous tissue » For instance, it is possi- 
ble to cure cancer by supplying those cells in the body with Manga- 
nese, another with Silicon, another with Fluorin, or with the sev- 
eral salts which are needed for the cure of cancer. However, these 
germs cannot get hold of us when we have all of those vegetable 
salts-, required by the system. T7e are comparatively immune. We 
are eating germs all of the time, every bite that we take contains 
some kind' of germs, but if we have those important protective min- 
eral salts in our system the germs must die. If we do not have 
them in our system, the germs kill us. 

Osseous and ligamentous tissue oxida.tion is increased by Manganese. 
Take a Calciferic man, a bony man, one who is. constantly using the 
brain, thinking, reasoning, the philosopher, the inventor; that man 
is breaking down tissue salts and nerve salts every fleeting moment. 
If it were not for the presence of Manganese in his tissues, or the 
influence of the same, the osseous and ligamentous tissue oxidation 
would become so low that eventually he would become diseased in his 
bones and ligaments. This is what arthritis is, or gout. When 
the salts are lacking in the body it results in heart disease, 
chronic rheumatism, gout, acidosis, and many other diseases. 

The principal cause is an insufficiency of Oxygen, because when 
there is an insufficiency of Oxygen, there is also an insufficiency 
of vegetable salts in the vrious structures of the body. Oxygen 
cannot do its work, and the Oxygen process is the life process in 
the body, in the cells, in the blood. 

Oxygen is a. peculiar element, it builds us up, but it also destroys 
us as quickly. Oxygen has two functions to perform, viz., one up- 
building, constructive, anabolic function; the other function is a 
destructive function, (catabolism). So soon as there is something 
wrong in the body; so soon as the heart gives out, Oxygen begins to 
carry us away. So soon as there is any trouble in the bones, Oxy- 
gen is again at work. The same thing takes place in the stomach, 
in the intestines, and everywhere else. We either must live, or 
else die. And this is the 77ork of Oxygen. Oxygen is building us 
up, and also constantly killing us. This is one reason that the 
chemist has said — that we live as we die, and when we quit living 
we quit dying. When we quit dying, we quit living. 

Manganese influences the oxidation process and the up-building pro- 
cesses, in plants. 

(f) Manganese does not go through the blood. Iron goes through 
the blood, Potassium goes through the tissues; but Manganese acts 
upon the nerves. That is one of the functions of Manganese. 



F-104' 

Snother very remarkable fact regarding Manganese, and Fluorin, is 
that chemists-, when they analyze and estimate the amount of Phos- 
phorus, Potassium, Chlorin, Sodium, Sulphur, Calcium, and other el-, 
ements, do not analyze nor estimate Manganese, nor Fluorin, but leave 
those two elements out. 

Chemists do not give us the real quantity contained' in the foods of 
the various salts. They only estimate the q-uantity. For instance, 
theytell us that a certain food article contains a Hrace" of a cer- 
tain element, instead of giving us the exact figure. When we make 
an analysis we should show in that analysis that the article con- 
tains so much Potassium, so much Sulphur, so much Manganese, so much 
Fluorin, etc., so that we may know each part of an element, in the 
various foods. . Then we would know just exactly how much of a cer- 
tain food salt we find in a certain food. And we should not only 
know that, but we should also know what function that food salt has 
upon the body functions. 






(g) We should remember that man is a living, thinking being, that man 
is organized, that he is something else than a radiator. You may 
put unorganized metal into a radiator, but when you have to do with a 
man, you must not give him unorganized metals. Give him those ele- 
ments that he needs, in organized food form. 

There is no such thing as Manganese excess. It is impossible for 
any one to eat Manganese to excess. One peculiarity about Manganese 
is that it is present in only a few foods, and even in those foods it 
is present only in the smallest quantity. ,0& percent' is very high 
in California walnuts; and in almond nuts, being the highest percent 
of Manganese in any food form. But it is impossible to eat Califor- 
nia walnuts and almond nuts to such an extent as to obtain an excess 
of Manganese in the body — unless a man lives on California walnuts 
.and almond nuts alone. 

MANGANESE EXCES S SYMPTOM S:, That which we call efficiency is nothing 
but the result of a, correct diet. That which we call health is the 
result of a. scientific diet. Disease cannot very well be cured un- 
less people- help doctors with a. correct diet. The very best time to 
diet is before a man is on his sick-bed. It is the man who is lean- 
ing towards the sick-bed who is the one who needs a correct diet. 
VThen a, man is so sick that he is on his sick-bed, or death-bed, the 
appetite is usually always lacking, and he is in such a condition 
that he cannot digest food. Then, it is not a very good time to 
cure him with food. You should cure the man before he gets sick. 

(3) Unsteadiness of gait is not caused by a condition of the cerebel- 
lum, but by the nerves. 

(11) He becomes nervous, miserable, indifferent. 

G-out and rheumatism produced by excess of Manganese never bothers a 
man in the daytime, but always at night. So soon as he sits down, it 
aches here, there and everywhere. 

The Manganese excess patient should have a warm diet. 30me patients 
should have a cold diet; some patients should have a stimulating and 
tonic diet, some should have negative foods, or foods that grow under 
the ground. .Still other patients should have a fruit diet, and so on.

SYMPTOMS WHEN MANGANESE IS DEFIC IENT : When Manganese is lacking, 
the brain shrinks in the cranium, resulting in peculiar symptoms. 
All old people run short of that important element - Manganese. I 
am sure every one who is growing old is in the greatest need of the 
Manganese element, and that if it is not supplied he will eventual- 
ly become feeble-minded, or insane. When he sits still, it seems 
his legs have no life. They are not numb, but they have no feel- 
ing. You may pinch them, and he cannot feel it. That is the 
reason he wants to be in action and on his feet. This is the on- 
ly patient who developes epileptic symptoms without having epilep- 
sy. The patient does not fall, but has the symptoms. 

Whenever' he moves he groans, or when he makes any kind of effort, 
as if the effort is very hard. His head feels like a. bushel bas- 
ket. He goes to the mirror to see whether his head is large. He 
may feel as though he is going crazy. It. seems that there is a 
lack of communication between one part of the brain and another 
part of the brain; la.ck of communication between one faculty in one 
hemisphere and another in the se,me hemisphere; lack of communica- 
tion between brain and body. He does not know just what is going 
on in the body. There is a lack of consciousness between body 
and brain, 

HOW TO REDUCE MANGANESE IN THE_BQ_pY: There is not very much danger 
of getting too much Manganese in the body, but it may possibly hap- 
pen. 

When we first think of an element, and about the peculiarities and 
characteristics, we cannot perhaps see the reason why there should 
be an element that qualifies us to adapt ourselves to night and 
darkness, the same as Manganese does. If we did not have Manga- 
nese in the body, we could not adapt ourselves to the dark, nor to 
change of positions in the dark; we could not sleep, could not rest, 
the nerves would become uneasy, restless, and we would be in con- 
stant trouble. We could not do what we should do in the dark, viz 
viz., rest, sleep and be comfortable. 

If you have read the reports of people who work at night, steadily , 
year in and year out, you know such people usually suffer from 
brain trouble, because they draw too heavily upon the Manganese 
supply. They violate nature. If you are a night worker, you 
should always eat foods that are rich in Manganese, because the el- 
ement is broken down at night when you are at work. If you lack 
Manganese in the nerves, you get up about two o'clock and start 
thinking. This is what a Manganese patient will do. He will be 
up at night, perhaps two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock, and 
then his brain is working like 3 factory; he evolves wonderful 
ideas. Perhaps at 5:50 or 6 o'clock, when it begins to get day- 
light, he falls asleep from exhaustion. If he could, then, sleep 
until about 11 o'clock in the daytime, he would feel more recuperat- 
ed, and would repeat that same habit at night again. That breaks 
down the Manganese element still more. 

Osteopaths, Chiropractors, and others among manipulative and theu- 
rapatic lines, may think that they can adjust everything in regard 



F-I06 

to the bones, nerves and nerve centers, or the various physical or- 
gans in the body; they may speak learnedly about technique, diagnosis 
and" adjustment; and we give them credit for wonderful adjustments and 
cures;' yet, I want to tell you that unless, you supply the Manganese 
element you can ad just night and day, and continue to adjust, and ap- 
ply your technique, yet you will never get your patients adjusted, 
nor cured. This holds, good to all kinds of doctors. If the ele- 
ment is not supplied, treatments do not do very much good, no matter 
what the treatments are. We cannot cure a patient, if we do not 
supply the element needed. We should give him treatments, but we 
must not forget diet, must not forget the chemical elements that the 
Almighty put into the body to do the worlfc. 

H OW T O INCREASE MANGANESE IN THE BODY: The reason we should use the 
Intellectual Faculties more, is because these are the faculties that 
require Manganese to a greater extent than the emotional. All peo- 
ple who are great intellectual geniuses, and who use the intellect 
and reason to a great extent, are drawing heavily upon the Manganese 
element, and will eventually suffer from disturbances caused by the 
lack of Manganese, 

PEOPLE WHO REQUIRE MANGANESE FOODS: I have not found very many peo- 
ple who had Manganese in excess. This is the reason that I say, all 
people require Manganese-containing food. Usually, young men and 
young women, being, as a rule, well supplied with the Manganese ele- 
ment, are more active, more graceful. When a. man grows older, the 
Manganese element cannot be assimilated, he is stiff in the various 
cells, fibres, joints and cords in the body. 

INFLUENCE OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF MANGANESE FOODS: • 
I wonder if we know what "Disposition" means? Is there any diifer- 
ence between temperament and disposition? A temperament is a sys- 
tem of functions, faculties, and organs; Disposition is a prevailing 
state of mind. A permanent prevailing state of mind, acting both 
upon the body and the mind, produces a certain kind of attitude, both 
physically and mentally. Disposition is in the feelings, in the 
heart, in the soul, in the very chemistry of the man; while tempera- 
ment is in the organs and functions of the man. Temperament has 
very little to do with disposition, but disposition is partially 
chemical, and partially hereditary. 

Under certain conditions, and under certain states of mind existing 
in the parents at the birth of the child, the child is given a cer- 
tain kind of chemistry, and also a certain kind of disposition. The 
cnild is, perhaps, optimistic all of the time, and we say the dis- 
position is optimistic. V/e cannot very well say that he has an op- 
timistic temperament. We may say he has an osseous temperament r a 
lymphatic temperament, or a vital temperament, as the case may be, but 
we cannot very well say that he has an optimistic temperament, or a 
pessimistic temperament. Disposition refers to states of mind,, 
states of the soul, emotional states, more or less. If we cultivate 
a certain state of mind from day to day, for, perhaps, twenty, thirty, 
forty, or fifty years, eventually we may develop what may be called 
an acquired disposition. It is not easy to change a disposition. 

INFLUENCE OF A DEFICIENT AMOUNT OF MANGANESE F00D5 ON: The Almighty 
created us in such a way that there should be a certain sprinkling 
of Manganese, acting upon the nerves and brain. If that little

sprinkling is lacking, there will be trouble and sickness. The 
Manganese element has a great deal to do with the continuance of 
certain states of the mind. A young man, who falls in love, and 
who is lacking in the Manganese element, would not stay very long 
with his girl. That holds good also in regard to certain mental 
qualities. For instance, if the faculty of Continuity, or Secre- 
tiveness, or both, are weak, and then suppose this man is strong 
in Conjugality, ana he falls in love with a girl - How long would 
he continue to love that girl, considering that two such faculties 
are weak? He would fall in love many times per year. A girl 
could not depend upon his love; neither could he depend upon his 
own love. 

This holds good in regard to the Hanganese element, also, for it 
has to do with the feelings, it makes them more permanent. A per- 
son who falls in love and has the manganese element well supplied, 
not excessively, just normally supplied, and then has Continuity 
and Secretiveness strongly developed, stays in love. His love in- 
creases; his feelings become more romantic; he fails deeper and 
deeper in love. You can depend upon him. A man who lacks Manga- 
nese, Continuity and Secretiveness also, cannot be depended upon. 
He cannot depend upon himself, nor upon his own love. He is a 
•acatterbrain in love, work, studies. He is first with this girl, 
and then with that. The Manganese element has to do with the con- 
trol and direction of soul impulses, or states of mind, and when 
the Manganese element is lacking, the man is erratic in disposi- 
tion, whatever his temperament may be. 

This is not only true in regard to love, but in regard to eating, 
drinking, studying, reading, habits. If a man who lacks manga- 
nese, reads a look, he reads the headings only. He looks at the 
beginning and at the end, then he is through with that book, when 
he may take another and repeat his habit. He may be highly edu- 
cated, or learned, but there is nothing consecutive, nor reliable 
about him. He is fitful in love, war, money-making, study, work, 
promises, position; you can never trust him. 

DISEASE TEuDSI'.CIES OF PEOPLE IN WHOM UANGANESE 13 III EXCESS: 
(10) Flatus - this comes on so quickly that the patient does not 
know when it comes on. It comes on in a few minutes of time. 
How she is perfectly well; in five minutes she is spotted and 
bloated, and feels as though she would burst from flatus; sudden, 
disagreeable flatus, caused by a. sudden generation of gas. 

(12) Apoplexy never can be cured without increasing the Manganese 
element. That holds good in regard to excess of Manganese, which 
develops apoplectic symptoms; it must be decreased. It is. not 
apoplexy, however, it is only that kind of symptoms, developed by 
excess of Uanganese. 

(14) Perhaps sometimes the patient will believe that something is 
pinching him, and keeps pinching him, in the arm, in the neck, 
head* or in some of the nerves. 



F-1Q8 

CI5"} The patient may suffer from toothache and goes to the dentist; 
he can find nothing and tells her she must have pus under her teeth. 
Tf the dentist looks for pus, he finds there is no pus there. You 
would", perhaps, say it is in his mind. Doctors are likely to say 
that it is in his imagination. When you suffer from that kind of 
ailments, and the doctor diagnoses your case and cannot find any rea- 
son for your ailment, no decayed teeth, no pus formation in the roots, 
he declares you to be in a first-class condition, and concludes that 
all of your symptoms are simply products of your imagination. You 
go home and have had no help. You go to another doctor, to a. spe- 
cialist, and he says the same thing; at last you go to a sanitarium 
and spend from $40.00 to' $100.00 a week to get no relief, and there 
everyone calls you a crank. 

When you go to a hospital you want this, and that, you find every- 
thing wrong; nurses come to visit you, "to see that cranky woman". 
TLey stand and look at you and say, "No one can do anything with a 
crank". The fact of the matter is, there is something wrong with 
your nerve centers. The thing that is wrong with your nerve centers 
is a lack of Manganese, There is the trouble. Eat plenty of nuts 
and you will get well. A nut diet cures you, and all your nervous- 
ness will disappear, not all at once, but in the course of time. It 
is useless to go to a sanitarium. When you have been, perhaps, one 
and one-half years, two, or three years, on a. nut diet, you will get 
cured. It is expensive in a. sanitarium, but you can get cured right 
in your own home and save your money. Then, there will be no nurses 
who will come to inspect "that crank", as they call you, and you pay 
340,00 a week for being called a. crank. 

(19) If the weather is a. little cloudy she cannot go out. Every- 
thing is too much for her. If she makes a. promise she never fulfils 
it; she finds some kind of excuse. 

(20) Cracking in the ears, in the brain, is a. Manganese hunger symp- 
tom. 

HELPFUL HIN TS: The kind of gout and rheumatism produced by Manga- 
nese hunger, has Manganese-hunger symptoms, 

(b) It seems that the Manganese element has a great deal to do with 
that function which we call synergy. If the faculties are working 
together, there is greater harmony among the faculties. One facultv 
can work more successfully with another faculty. When we think, 
study, or do any kind of work, we use all the way from one up to 
forty faculties. We do not use only the faculties of the brain, but 
also the nerves, muscles, and senses throughout the body. We can 
walk and reason at the same time; we can dance and play at the same 
time; we can do many things at one and the same time, but when there 
is a lack of the Manganese element, a man can do only one thing at 
a time. So soon as there is considerable of noise around him, he 
cannot do anything. Wo stenographer could sit and take down a dic- 
tation, if deficient in Manganese, because when there is a lack of 
the Manganese element, the patient must be in a quiet place, and 
there must be no one else talking, there must be no whistling, no 
noise, rattle,, nor din. Everything must be quiet, otherwise she- is 
not able to concentrate her mind.

Manganese has a great deal to do with concentration-. It is not 
concentration, because concentration is an act of the will, to a 
great extent, but it is unitization; it is synergy. There is 
greater power of synergy in a person in whom Manganese is well sup-i 
plied" in the diet. You will say that this is a function of the 
brain. Intelligence is always in the gray substance- The gray 
substance always does the thinking. Take the gray substance out 
of one, or more, brain center, and see what you can do. The in- 
telligence is in the gray brain. The soul function acting in 
that gray matter we call* a. faculty. How are these soul faculties 
going to work? How is one faculty to know what another faculty 
is doing? 

We have never been told anything about brain telegraphy by asriy psy- 
chologist. There are fibres going from the body and up into the 
various parts of the brain, and they are called oomaunicat ion fi- 
bres. These fibres are called projecting fibres. If we destroy 
these fibres in the external capsule, we would not know what is go- 
ing on in the body. V/e would become motionless, and have no con- 
trol of mind over body. 

The communication fibres that run from one part in the same hemi- 
sphere to another part in the same hemisphere, are called intra- 
communication fibres, and those fibres that run from one faculty 
in one hemisphere to another faculty in the opposite hemisphere, 
are called inter-communication, or, inter-hemispherical communica- 
tion fibres. All of the communication fibres are under the con- 
trol of Manganese. Hence, also, when we lack Manganese, we are 
deficient in brain telegraphy, o.r in soul telegraphy. Then it is 
that one faculty does not know what is going on in another faculty; 
one hemisphere does not know what is going on in another hemi- 
sphere; and the whole head does not know what is going on in the 
body. The mind becomes, in a certain sense, stupid; the face is 
dull, and the patient looks at you and does not know just what you 
are talking about.. He cannot converse on any subject the way he 
should. If it is a child it is somewhat idiotic. When the 
child goes to school, the teacher, or the doctor , says, about that 
child, that he does not have all the "-screws 1 ^ Those screws are 
made of Manganese; they are Manganese screws, M there are any 
screws. Of course, such talk is only figurative, because there 
are no screws in the brain. When a person is rattle-brained, and 
has no control of mind, feelings, Impulses, or reasoning, they say 
he is stupid, that he is crazy, that he does not have all the 
R five% that he has a ,w screw 11 loose. 

The Manganese element is there for the purpose of unitizing and 
harmonizing all the various functions of brain, faculties, soul 

and body. 

(c). When a patient comes to you who suffers from gout and rheuma- 
tism, he may say that in daytime he feels good, but at night, so 
soon as he lies down, or it gets dark, he aches. When he tells 
you that, you know it is lacK of Manganese; because these Manganese 



F--1I0 

hunger symptom patients are worse when sitting down. They stiffen 
up, and soon, when they try to rise, they must rise very slowly, be- 
cause they are so stiff, and have lost all their strength. They 
must start in very, very slowly. After they get into action, they 
begin to limber up, and pretty soon they get the machinery into work- 
ing order again. The hinges seem to become oiled at last. So soon 
as the man sits down, the hinges become rusty, when there is a lack 
of the Manganese element. 3o soon as it is dark, that soon the 
bones ache. 

There are many different kinds of gout. Did you ever hear of a gout, 
or rheumatism, which aches only when you lie down? It aches in a 
certain bone. After they sit down a little while, that bone begins 
to ache; later on other bones ache. This is a Manganese symptom, 
because whenever a patient is still, and whenever it is dark, his 
gout, or his rheumatism, bothers him. The pain starts in so soon as 
it is dark. 

HHEN A MANGANESE DIET IS NEEDED: I have not experimented with very 
many people with the Manganese element, because it is rather diffi- 
cult to get foods rich in Manganese. 

(1) Look at the handwriting of a patient who lacks Manganese. The 
writing is shaky. The writer does not have control of his fingers. 
We call it a nervous handwriting. You find that handwriting in al- 
most all old people. They lack control , because they lack Manga- 
nese. You have that same kind of nervous handwriting in people who 
lack Manganese, even when they are young. 

(3) Shrinkage of the brain happens in old people also. Old people 
cannot adjust themselves to motion. Lack of Manganese has the same 
effect. The brain shrinks, and the man cannot adjust himself to 
sudden motion. He feels like falling. 

The Manganese -hunger patient suffers from Angina pectoris, tremors, 
and sudden, strong appetite for food. 

(10) So soon as there is a lack of the Manganese element, there is 
traction, drawing, pressure, in the nerves, here, there and every-^ 
where. Drawing in the backhead, in the optic nerves; pressure here, 
and pressure there, inside and outside, in the brain, nerves, cent- 
ers, nerve plexuses, of the body. There are rigid eye muscles; one 
eye muscle draws back or contracts, the other does not, it draws the 
eye sidewardly. A patient like that has many peculiar sensations. 

(14) Iron, when lacking in the body, results in hysterics. This 
holds good in regard to Manganese also. 



'o^ 



(16) I have seen patients look as though they were made of moonshine, 
white, pale and anemic. The skin had a glossy, shiny appearance; 
the patients perspired at night to such an extent that it seemed as 
if they were being dissolved in water. 

(19) Cold weather does not affect them; hot weather does. The Mang- 
anese patient suffers from valvular insufficiency, which is really 
in the cardiac nerves. Any diseases a. man, woman, or child, may 
suffer from, when there is a lack of the Manganese element, is always

in the nerves, and produced' by the nerves. When there is Manga- 
nese hunger, all sorts of Manganese ailments appear. You talk 
about nerve specialists - Where is a nerve specialist who knows 

that Manganese is needed for perfect nerve control? Where is a 
sanitarium, or hospital, or medical school, where they teach the 
necessity of the Manganese element in the nerves of the patient? 

(22) A" patient who suffers from heart disease caused by Manganese- 
hunger, goes to the doctor, and the doctor probably gives him 
digitalis instead of nuts. 

C2S) The Manganes-e patient is never thirsty. The Manganese pa- 
tient looks old; he has one hundred and one little wrinkles in the 
skin, like wrinkled tissue paper. His nerves are uneasy; he is 
restless; he cannot sit still; he must be on the move all of the 
time/ 

(33) He cannot look long at anything, for things begin to dance. 
So soon as the Manganese patient sits down, he feels a draft some- 
where, and he begins to look around at windows. 

Ask & Manganese patient what kind of pains he has, and ask him 
"when do you have these pains? 11 "Do you have them in the middle 
of the day, or in the middle of the night; when you lie down, or 
when you are in motion; when it is cold, or when it is windy; 
when it is dark, or when do you have them?"- This is the way to 
find out from a patient. Just to look at the tongue of the pa- 
tient is not sufficient. You must make inquiries in regard to 
all of the peculiarities of the patient. If you get one accurate 
symptom, you have enough to go by; one single reliable symptom to 
go by in a certain ailment, and the doctor has the upper hsnd of 
that ailment. But if he does not get one really reliable symp- 
tom, he cannot cure the patient. 

PgINC IP AL MAN GA NE SE F 00 PS ; The chemists, when they make a. quan- 
titative food analysis, do not tell us how much Manganese, or 
Fluorin, is found in the various foods. The chemist usually says 
*& trace". We do not like that. We do not like to have a man 
tell, us '"considerable 11 ; we want to know — how much, or how little, 
and we want it in figures. 

All of those analyses that we have made of all of the elements, we 
have put into figures. A*ll such elements that have found their 
way into the human body and do not belong there, must find their 
way out also, because anything that does not belong in the body, 
the body is making a double effort to throw out. This is where 
pain comes in. If you swallow something and you get it down in- 
to your throat, you will be surprised to notice the effort you are 
compelled to make to get that foreign substance out of the throat .. 

Minerals that do not belong in the body, or any kind of poison, so 
soon as you take that kind of minerals or drugs, there is a posi- 
tive effort of the system to throw out of the body, such minerals, 



Ji — J.J.C 

or- poisons* This requires that much more vitality. Hence, also, 
when you are given drugs, they must be thrown cut, which requires 
vitality. For that reason, I never like drags. 

Of course, there are harmless drugs, and drugs that contain those el- 
ements that we have in the body, in vegetable form. Drugs that have 
a certain affect upon the body, vis., teas which are beneficial, and 
certain foods that contain ceitain chemical elements, should not be 
forgotten. 

Egg yolk is. about the same as eating brain substance, or the same as 
eating life. If there is a lack of Manganese in egg yolk, ycu will 
not get man}'- chicks, and those that you do get will not live long* 

The most skilful chemist should be at the head of our cookery depart- 
ment; chemists who understand organic chemistry, quantitative food 
chemistry and types of people. These men should superintend skilled 
cooks to do the work* Some day, the greatest doctors, specialists, 
and chemists will be in our kitchens, and the greatest scientists 
that we can produce will take charge of our food supply. Then we 
will have health; then we can go into a. restaurant and eat, and feel 
safe. This lies in the future, however. Now you go into a res- 
taurant, and after eating you go to a doctor, who may know no more 
what is wrong with you than you do, because he does not study food, 
nor food manufacture, nor human types. He studies poisons, but does 
not study that which goes into the body. If you go to a doctor who 
does not study food, and you ask him what to eat, he, perhaps, tells 
you to - Eat what you please. 

Give a man the kind of food he should have and he becomes pleasing, 
good-natured and religious; but give him the wrong kind of food and 
he becomes a dyspeptic, irritable. The wife can cook the love out 
of him, and cook hatred into him; she can cook him into the divorce 
court, into the grave. She can cook the love out of his heart so 
that he feels like a bull-dog. Some may say that food has nothing 
to do with it. Let me assure you that food has everything to do 
with it* It depends upon what you and I eat. T7e can eat our- 
selves into heaven, or we can eat ourselves into the other place. 
Ue can eat ourselves sick. I can put you on a. diet and guarantee 
that in about sixty days you will be sick, and I can tell you before- 
hand what sickness you will suffer from. 

Formerly, when I started in, I did not believe that diet meant any- 
thing. I began to experiment, and I had people so sick they were 
not far from dead, only by giving them certain foods, and taking 
away from their diet certain other foods. Then, I v;ould cure them 
by opposite foods and food salts. 

Peppermint leaves act upon the stomach and intestines, acidity and 
dull digestion. A cup of peppermint tea. with the juice of one lime 
added, and a few senna leaves, makes one of the very best laxatives 
you can find for a certain kind of acidity, gas generation and con- 
stipation. 

The foods mentioned in this lesson are the foods, and the only foods 
that I know of, that are rich in Manganese, and the very best of 
them are —

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED : 

CALIFORNIA UAL NUTS - They are higher in Manganese than any other 
food. 

RAW EGG YOLK - You find Vitamines in abundance in raw egg yolJc, and 
in nuts. If you are running low in life force, growing weak, old 
and feeble, or suffer from Manganese symptoms, I know of no better 
foods than these. Use plenty of egg yolk and also nuts, especial- 
ly the nuts mentioned right here. Taken together with an ordinary 
diet, especially rye bread in abundance, and some kind of broths, 
you certainly have a highly constructive diet, a recuperative diet. 
Take them in connection with a basic diet, a Manganese diet, then 
get the right kind of medical treatments, or osteopathic treatments, 
or other treatments in connection, and you will be sure to build 
up. 

NASTURTIUM FLOWERS - contain more Manganese than the leaves. 

Manganese is something like Sulphur, it acts on the principle of 
life, and acts in connection with the Vitamines which are at work 
wherever Manganese is at work. Vitamines are at work wherever 
Sulphur and Phosphorus are at work. They are a sort of trinity 
(Manganese, Sulphur and Phosphorus). They act on the generative 
substance, act on the brain, act on life, and on life processes. 
Wherever Manganese is at work, there Vitamines are at work also. 

QUESTIONS AND ANSJERS : 

1. IVhat is the cause and cure of large intestinal worms? A. - 
This is an indication that vegetable salts are lacking. 

2. VJhy is the Nervi— Motive type so similar to the Medeic type? 

A. - The Nervi-Motive type is similar to the Medeic type in a great 
many of the characteristics, but not in appearance* Of course, 
Nervi-Motive people in health are very different than they are in 
times of sickness, or when they are tired out. 

3. Why will a person sometimes feel very short? A'. - Because the 
faculty of Size is not functioning normally. That which we see 
and measure with our eyes depends very much upon the condition of 
the faculty of Size in functioning, and it depends, also upon the 
cerebellum; sometimes a certain object may appear larger than it 
is, or it may appear smaller. 

4. Does dreaming develop the brain, or does it destroy it? A. - 
Dreaming is nothing else than night thought, or thoughts in sleep. 
So soon as a certain faculty in the. brain is tired, the brain 
cells or thinking neurons and brain centres are at work, thinking 
and experiencing all sorts of situations, peculiar to that one fa- 
culty. Breaming develops, it does not destroy, unless it prevents.

the man from resting his brain, according to normal needs, 

5". Kow would it be best to treat a patient who suffers from Infec- 
tion due to a rusty nail? If a great swelling appears with no pus 
what should be done to reduce this? A. - Perhaps the very best 
thing would be to treat it with a tobacco poultice* 

6. If grapes contain arsenic, what effect would wine have while it 
is nothing but fermented grape juice? A. - The grape juice would 
contain arsenous acid. It would have a stimulating effect upon tft>e 
liver. The grape juice, or the wine, or the grapes, if eaten or 
drank continually for a. long, long time, eventually would overcharge 
the liver with arsenic, and it would interfere with health. 

7. Are lledeic people long- lived? A. - Medeic people sometimes 
cling to life like cats. A Medeic man may die all of a sudden with- 
out' any warning whatever, or he may live until he is ninety cr one 
hundred years of age. No one can tell how long he will live. It 
all depends upon the activity of the impurities which he has in his 
body. That miasm may become very active all of a sudden and send 
him into Eternity, just in a. few days, perhaps from pneumonia, or 
from paralysis, or some other ailment* 

8. Does tea or coffee interfere with the good health of an Exesthe- 
sic man? If so, what should he drink, and how much? A. - Coffee 
and tea drinking always interfere with every individual, no matter 
what type he may be. Coffee makes the stomach or the tissues acid 
in every instance, and tea acts upon the nerves and the brain, un- 
favorably. Drinking at meals, or drinking at all, is nothing but a 
bad habit. It is not necessary to drink. If he must drink* why 
not drink distilled water and fruit juices, i.e., juices from ber- 
ries? 

9. When physicians inject "Serum 11 and "Vaccine "• into patients to 
kill germs, would that not have a bad effect upon the patients? 

A. — r would advise you never to let any physician inject any serum 
nor any vaccine into your blood. It is much better to manufacture 
your own serums, and so far as smallpox and vaccine are concerned, 
vaccine will never protect anyone. It is nothing but a medical fad. 

1.0. What is your theory as to why neuralgia affects a particular 
nerve? A. - Any nerve that is acid will ache, Wherever there is 
acidity in or around a. nerve, there will be neuralgia, and wherever 
there is a pressure upon a. nerve, there will also be neuralgia- If 
a nerve is starving there will also be neuralgia. Hherever there 
is inflammation in a nerve there will be neuralgia. 

11. Why can certain animals live indefinitely, especially in nor- 
thern, climes, on one and the same food? A. - Because that same 
.food supplies all of the elements that are necessary for that animal.

LECTURE NOTES . COURSE-FOODS &. CHEMICALS . SUBJECT-FLUORIN. 

Fluorin is an important chemical element which helps the human or- 
ganization. It is usually found in combination with Calcium. Al- 
most all foods that carry Calcium, also carry Fluorin. Because it 
does not unite with Oxygen, it becomes a protective element. Oxy- 
gen has two functions: (1) Constructive, and (£) Destructive. 
Oxygen builds up and it tears down, or destroys. That seems to 
be the work of Ox}rgen in the universe. So soon as anything dies 
Oxygen picks it to pieces, out if Fluorin is present, in tissue, 
fibre, bone, or tooth, it is impossible for Oxygen to do destruct- 
ive work. Oxygen cannot decompose a bone, or tooth, if Fluorin is 
present. That tooth, or bone, becomes lasting. 

We should supply the Fluorin foods to all children, when they are 
growing up; when the teeth are being formed; when the bones are 
growing; when all the solid fibrous tissues are being formed. Oxy- 
gen builds up, and it also destroys us. If it were not for Fluor- 
in, our teeth, our bones, our solid tissue, would not last very 
long. 

There is a strong affinity between Fluorin and Calcium, but none 
between Fluorin and Oxygen. Those two elements; Fluorin and Oxy- 
gen, are opposites. They are repulsive to each other, the same 
as- people are repulsive who are of the Marasmic and Oxypheric con- 
stitutions. 

Fluorin, Sodium, Sulphur, and Phosphorus, are the elements that 
have a great deal to do with life. If any one of those elements 
is lacking, life is not complete. If little chicks die when they 
are young, Fluorin, Sulphur, Sodium, or Phosphorus is lacking. If 
either one of these elements is lacking in an egg there will be a 
weakness in the chick. 

Fluorin that has been organized into tissues, is organic. 

We are constantly eliminating some element. We are using Sodium 
every day in the year. We break down Chlorin every minute. We 
require Fluorin e-;ery hour of the day. Certain diseases are burn- 
ing up certain elements in our body. Calcium is used by many of 
thy physical functions, as, for instance, in the bones and the 
teeth. Calcium, which is organized into bones, is organic; Cal- 
cium used by the functions has not received any name. We call it, 
functional Calcium, or free Calcium. 

Almost every element of all of the sixteen elements found in the 
human organization has two functions to perform, viz., (1) an or- 
ganic function, (Z) and a functional. This is also true in re- 
gard to Fluorin. If there is a lack of Fluorin in some bone, 
there may be excessive growth in some special part of the bone and 
not enough in another part; then, bone metabolism becomes erratic- 

If Fluorin is lacking, there may be ulceration. If it were not 
for Fluorin, Calcium would fall apart like wall plaster. The 
skull of a man who died of syphilis will crumble into a. hundred 
pieces. But take the skull of some other person, say of an Exes- 
the=iic, and that skull never breaks. The skull of a man who dies 



F-1T6 

of syphilis is like wall plaster. When we get hold of a skull in 
which Fluorin has been separated from Calcium, we know the person 
died of syphilis. 

Fluorin has; an important function to perform in combination with Cal- 
cium. Fluorin is an organization agent in bone. It acts upon Cal- 
cium just about like a cement, and holds all the cells together. It 
holds together every little bone cell. The Fluorin also builds a 
hard surface around the outside as a protection against Oxygen and 
all sorts of bone enemies. 

Bones and teeth have come to us from pre-historic times-. 1 once 
had hold of a skull that was said to be ISO, 000 years old. It was 
the skull of an Egyptian woman. The anatomists fixed up a picture 
of her as they imagined her to look during life. They labeled :'t, 
"•This lady lived 120,000 years ago."' We have proof that bcnes and 
teeth are almost indestructible, with Fluorin in combination with 
Calcium. 

The spleen cannot perform its function properly unless a certain 
amount of Fluorin acts upon the spleen. There are certain spleen 
diseases which could be cured very quickly if you supplied the 
Fluorin element, in the form of food. 

If children suffer from hip disease, or decayed teeth, give them 
food rich in Calcium, and Fluorin. Fluorin and Calcium must act 
together in teeth, bone, feathers, hair, and all sorts of elastic 
tissue. If we do not supply Fluorin, in connection with Calcium, 
it is impossible to build good bone, teeth, or solid tissue. For 
hip disease, supply foods rich in Calcium, Silicon, Albumin, and 
Fluorin. Fluorin is a twin brother to Calcium, it organizes lime 
and kills the germs that thrive in bone and joints. 

You cannot build bone or teeth without material. You may call in 
a doctor when you are sick, and his treatments may help, but do not 
forget the food that your system needs* You cannot build good 
teeth and bone of coffee, doughnuts and cake. You cannot baild a 
strong body of vegetarian dreams. You cannot become an efficiency 
man by the eating of crullers, rolls, starch and candy. You cannot 
build muscles of cream, nor motor nerves of butter. 

If you suffer from varicose veins, eat Fluorin, and breathe fresh 
air, and take exercises. When you give the veins exercise, you 
must massage upwardly towards the heart. Go in the same direction 
when you exercise, as the blood flows. The blood flows towards the 
heart. It flows from the arms toward the heart in the veins. It 
flows from the head to the heart in the veins. It flows from the 
feet to the heart in the veins. If you take massage always go in 
the same direction as the blood flows in the veins. Here is a val- 
uable point for masseurs. 

To build perfect bone and teeth, begin with Fluorin before the teeth 
are gone. The right time to build teeth is when the child is be- 
tween the ages of three and fourteen years. 

There is no pus formation where Fluorin is at work. Fluorin kills 
parasites. It prevents excess of heat in some special part of the 
system. On the other hand, if there is a lack of Fluorin, there

will be too much heat in one bone and not enough heat in another 
bone. One part will be feverish, another part will be cold, and 
some other part may suffer from something else. . There is no 
equalization of heat, when there is a lack of Fluorin. 

. Syphilis breaks down Fluorin. When a man suffers from syphilis, 
and a medical man cures him, he only kills the germs. Cure him 
with diet or he will never be cured". Medicine cannot drive: a 
taint out. Supply- the food elements that are necessary*. In 
order to overcome syphilis, we must absolutely supply Fluorin and 
keep supplying it until the miasm is gone. The only way to cure 
syphilis is by cell-building. You must build a new man. You 

.can never drive it out of the cell, because, if a miasm is in the 
cell,, that miasm will stay. You must build a. new cell, to take 
the place of the old cell. 

There is no food so valuable in times of pus formation, or tuber- 
culosis, (which is nothing but a pus disease), as goat's milk. It 
contains Fluorin, in greater quantities than any other milk. Ivlore 
Fluorin is in the milk of Toggenburg goats than in the Nubian goat 
Still less Fluorin is in sheep's milk. Cow's milk contains only 
a trace of Fluorin. People are giving cow's mill: to their chil- 
dren and drinking it every day, and yet we are told there are 
forty million germs in one teaspoonful (1 cc ) of cow l s milk. And 
they feed this diseased milk to tuberculosis patients. The milk 
of the Saanen goat, and of the Toggenburg, is high in Fluorin. 
You cannot find a better Fluorin food for your babies. 

We would never suffer from toothache if we had a perfect enamel. 
No pus can form under the roots of the teeth, if Fluorin is sup- 
plied in abundance. There could be no decay of teeth. 

There is one country, of which it is said that it has not had one 
case of tuberculosis during the past one hundred yeers, and that 
country is using goat's milk in its national baby diet. They are 
feeding their children goat's milk. Don't you think it is time, 
here in America, to start using goat's milk? Everyone, every- 
where, ought to have at least two Toggenburg, or two Saanen goats. 
Consumptive hospitals should have at least one hundred Toggenburg, 
or Saanen goats, and they should have fresh air in abundance. 
Instead, those consumptive patients sxe put inside of four walls, 
where there is dead air, and given cream and egg white. 

Tuberculosis pus, vaccination pus, and syphilitic pus, break down 
Fluorin in the body. The people in Chicago are compelled to be- 
come vaccinated. That is said to be a protection against small- 
pox . If you were not subject to smallpox before vaccination, you 
will be subject to it afterwards, because your Fluorin is broken 
do^n . 

Fluorin works against tuberculosis pus formation; syphilitic pus 
formation, and vaccination pus formation. Vaccination does not 
take so easily if you have plenty of Fluorin in your body. Ycu 
can vaccinate Exesthesic people, yet the vaccine does not always 



r~ii8 

take, "because they usually have plenty of Fluorin in their bodies. 
There are certain constitutions in which vaccination does not take, 
because Fluorin is there to protect against pus* If we had any 
sense, we would not introduce tubercular, syphilitic, nor vaccina- 
tion pus; into our bodiesj. 

If a. Pargenic falls, he may break his bones, because his bones are 
brittle, on account of lack of Fluorin.. If you are an osteopath, 
and get hold of a Pargenic patient, you must be careful how you set 
her bones. Fluorin has everything to do with bone metabolism. 
Firmness is the faculty of bone-building, A man who lacks Firmness- 
has soft bones, or is almost boneless. The Neurogenic man is weak 
in Firmness, and very strong in Idealism; hence, he cannot build 
bone. Almost all Neurogenic people suffer from bone disease. They 
are always weak. There is something lacking in the tissues. 

If your bones are small, if you suffer from ?:eak bones; or from bone 
disease - supply Fluorin, Fluorin protects Calcium. You cannot 
build bones, unless you do heavy work. Shoulder heavy planks and 
carry them a distance, and you reach the bones. You cannot build 
heavy bones by sitting in an arm-chair and dreaming about love and 
moonshine. If we increase Fluorin, we increase bone formation. 
If we increase the capacity of the system to take up tri -Calcium 
phosphate, we can build bone. 

A man 100 years old writes a book and says, the reason he lived so 
long is because he ate potatoes all his life. From this you con- 
clude that potatoes is the best food for old-age. Also, a lady, 105 
years old, says she lived that long because she never took a bath. 
We do not live long because we never take a bath, nor because we eat 
potatoes. We live long because all needed elements are supplied in 
the body. Take Fluorin and Iron out of the diet of a beautiful 
young girl, and she will grow old at once. She will soon have many 
wrinkles in her face, and will have no strength. Fluorin preserves 
health, strength and vigor, and makes us young. A lady goes to 
some beauty culturist and gets some of her "smear 11 and thinks she is 
beautiful, but she fools no one but herself. I have nothing against 
beauty culturists. I believe every woman should do all in her power 
to stay young, beautiful and attractive. But she must fall back on 
the material that the Almighty has supplied. The secret of youth 
is Fluorin in abundance* If you fall back on a. scientific diet, you 
find that you can retain vigor, strength, and youthfulness, and that 
you will look young when you are old. If you are 80, you will look 
50, and while you live you can keep healthy. 

If we know those sixteen chemical elements that the Almighty has put 
into our system, we can defy sickness, death and old-age for a long 
time, and can maintain our health while we do live. If we live on- 
ly forty years and are healthy, we are better off than to live 70 
years and be sickly all the time. 

Vaccinosis, (we do not mean vaccination), is a disease which is the 
result of vaccination. A man is vaccinated and the vaccination 
takes-. Later, some hidden disease develops in him, and he does not 
know just what it is. He is simply sick. It is caused by, and is 
the after effect of vaccination. 



You cannot feed sufficient Fluorin to every constitution. For in- 
stance, it is impossible to give Pargenic people enough Fluorin,

because they suffer from Fluorin hunger. 

Fluorin acts upon the meninges and inflames them. When Fluorin 
is excessive, they are fond of wines and fatty foods. They are 
always hungry, no matter how much they eat. They cannot remember, 
they have to reason out everything for themselves. They may suf- 
fer from religious mania. Their eyes are red. If you see a 
Fluorin patient once, you will never forget him. Put a patient 
on a heavy Fluorin diet, and he will develop a religious mania. 
Every man should pray. Praying does not do any harm, but at the 
same time we must not forget the element that is needed - Fluorin. 

Uhen the meninges become inflamed, disease sets in at the surface 
of the brain, in the gray substance, resulting in insanity. We 
have many such patients in the asylums to-day. What is being 
done for those poor maniacs? Y/e do not even know why these pa- 
tients are there, nor what has taken place in their systems. Ex- 
cess, or lack of the Fluorin element, is likely to result in insan- 
ity. . , 

Fluorin patients tell me that they felt as if they were divided in 
two. The vision was disturbed. Excess of Fluorin disturbs the 
eye structure. 

A patient was taken to Macon, Missouri. The doctors there could 
do nothing. He was sent to other places, and lastly brought to 
me. I placed that patient on a. heavy Fluorin diet, and on foods 
rich in formic acid and he began to improve. But for this diet, 
he would be in the asylum to-day. 

If we eat rightly, we will not suffer much. If we do not eat 
rightly, we will suffer. Diet will not do everything, but anyone 
who has anything to do with human health, should study quantitative 
food chemistry and chemical diagnosis. 

In a Fluorin hunger patient, the mind is stupid. Motion makes him 
worse. The Magnesium hunger patient is better when in motion, but 
the Fluorin hunger patient feels better when he sits down, or lies 
down. Osteopathic treatments that reach the spinal respiratory- 
center, will help him, A doctor, whom I know, who was a Fluorin 
hunger patient, would forget his patients, and what he had given 
them from day to day. He even forgot their address. Yet he was 
taking a memory course 

The Fluorin hunger patient feels there is a dark mental cloud hang- 
ing over him; he feels that somebody is after him. He has a mean 
disposition; even if he tries to please, he feels ugly at heart. 
He feels s.s if he has not the normal use of his brain. I have ex- 
perimented and found it possible to change the disposition, by diet 

One Fluorin hunger patient thought that he heard voices for a long 
time, £. Fluorin hunger patient may say that there is a storm in- 
side his brain# He knows it is not so, but, at the same time, he 
knows it is there.

When Fluorin is absolutely lacking, he may think that he is 
a wonderful genius in regard to investments •, He believes evil, 
ugly beings are living in him. He may say that he has a. good 
spirit, and a. very bad' spirit inside that control him alternately. 
Then, we wonder why such people commit crimes, or suicide. There 
are various brain ailments when Fluorin is not there to protect itr 
Those poisons begin to -work on the brain and give rise to strange 
send unusual symptoms. These patients believe they have tome wonder- 
ful power. They may think their tophead is in heaven, and that 
they can see what is going on there. We think those people pi e 
crazy, but it is simply toxins at work, because of lack of certain, 
chemical elements.. When you can diagnose the symptoms of several 
people who suffer from, the same trouble you can see just exactly 
vThat element, or elements are lacking. 

Carbonic acid has its symptoms. Excessive coffee drinking has its 
symptoms. Look at a, man who drinks whiskey, or eats tobacco. 
Does he not become peculiar? Every poison has its disease symptoms, 
Every toxin has its symptom. Germs generating their toxins in the 
body also produce their peculiar symptoms. Lack of Fluorin, or 
excess of Fluorin, has symptoms. 



which we call characteristics is often the result of some chem- 
ical element, toxin, habit, food, drink, gas, etc. All those pe- 
culiarities, of individuals that we call imagination is not imagina- 
tion, but symptoms which the doctors seldom understand. 

13. VOCATIONS FOR WHICH FLUORIN PEOPLE ARE BEST AD APTED: The 
Fluorin -man is interested in revivals. Many people of the Fluorin 
type become strongly interested in contemptible occupations. 

Many specialists specialize in those functions that are disturbed in 
themselves. A doctor who suffers very much from indigestion be- 
comes a specialist in digestion and diseases of the stomach. That 
holds good also in regard to those people that take up revivalism. 
They are afraid of the devil. A man may become a specialist in 
sexual diseases because he suffers from that ailment himself. That 
which we suffer from mostly, we study mostly. We become more deep- 
ly interested and study that subject. They become mediums and be- 
lieve that, the spirits are shaking hands with them every day. 

The vibrating neurons in the brain cause diseases of the brain. A 
peculiar thing about Fluorin patients is that they want to come in 
contact with the nude human body. 

In the Fluorin people the faculty of Spirituality is very active. 
If you want to develop psychic power, start in with a Fluorin diet, 
and that faculty will become very active. 

JT patient suffering from tuberculosis in any form, or syphilis, or 
scrofula, or any pus disease, lacks air, or has low oxidation. We 
cannot force one single speck more air into our lungs, however, much 
we breathe- All we can do is to fall back on a diet that contains 
the salts that attract air from the atmosphere, or go to a higher al- 
titude. Then air is attracted into our system to a. greater extent. 
K higher altitude is the one thing we need when we lack air. 

When the air is more attenuated, and we get into a higher altitude, 
there is greater effort of the respiratory centres. The medulla

Becomes more active, and acts upon the lung cells, and the whole 
respiratory system makes greater efforts at aeration. 

A patient suffering from a tuberculosis ailment should be sent to a 
higher altitude, not to a. sanitarium room. Do not go into a sani- 
tarium with s.uch sickness. We cannot get air in a- sanitarium, re- 
gardless of the altitude. You cannot change altitudes in a sani- 
tarium. You cannot get fresh air within four walls and below a 
roof. You should not put a tubercular patient, a Pargenic patient, 
a scrofulous patient, or any patient in whom oxidation i£ low, in- 
side of four walls. "When you are in a sanitarium you are below a 
roof and within four walls. The Almighty's sanitarium is the best. 

If the dura mater of the spinal cord, becomes weakened, .a.s it will 
do in times of Fluor in starvation, there is much danger of some 
kind of spinal disease. The dura mater lies close to the brain. 
Fluorin must be supplied so that the function of the cerebral and 
spinal membranes will be protected at all times. If Fluorin is 
not supplied, inflammation sets in, or Calcium is likely to harden, 
leading to brain trouble. This inflammation may go to the brain 
and cause insanity. Hence, Fluorin is needed. If we supply 
Fluorin constantly that can never happen. 

There is a bean that is called the caroba bean. It is very valua- 
ble, if made into bread and all sorts of food preparations. This 
bean contains certain valuable principles that will drive out im- 
purity from the system. 

If syphilis gets the upper hand in the system of a Pargenic man, 
because Fluorin has been used up, this can be helped by sarsaparil- 
la. tea, and by a high Fluorin diet. 

Pargenic impurity eventually results in tuberculosis. A young man 
of eighteen or twenty years of age, is reckless, consequently may 
contract a disease. He goes to a. doctor who kills the germs, but 
the taint remains. Suppose you have a glass of distilled water 
and you drop one dirty bug into that water; then you kill the bug 
in the water with some drastic poison - Is that water clean? Is 
not there a taint left in it? That is true also regarding sexual 
diseases; the germ is killed, but the taint remains. 

If. a person suffers from venereal disease and the doctor simply 
kills the germ, the taint is left. The germ poison, the impurity, 
the taint, or miasm, is left, and has gone, perhaps, into every 
cell of the brain, perhaps into the blood and the nerves, and all 
through the system. TJhat was to prevent it? We must fall back 
on those materials which enable us to send that impurity out and 
build a new man. The taint remains until it is driven out. If a 
man suffers from a venereal disease, that taint will be there until 
it is driven out. That is what we mean by taint. Just a few 
symptoms will enable us to know that a taint is there. The com- 
plexion may be coppery in a man who has a: taint like that. 

Another point is Iodin, which we should remember in this connection. 
It has a. great deal to do with oxidation. . Iodin is fine for 



goitre* Also, Iodin is important when there is trouble with the 
generative function; there is also weakness in the cerebellum, and 
trouble with the eyes, if a. man lacks Iodin. 

Pargenic impurity has its weak knees. There is likely to be ulcers 
in the long bones, or trouble with the eye sight. There is a numbr 
ness in the thyroid gland, and weakness in the cerebellum. The man 
has surly moods. He may not talk to his wife. He dislikes her. 
You see, there is reason for all those symptoms. 

I was once almost forced to see a lady who had very peculiar symp- 
toms, and a strange disease. I did not want to go as I did not un- 
derstand the sickness. I was talking to her for a couple of hours, 
when suddenly she wrinkled up her nose and wanted to know what that 
terrible smell was. It smells, she said, like a pig-pen. I asked 
her if she had ever been near any one who had syphilis. She said 
she delivered a baby two years ago that was decomposed, and from that 
time she was not the same any more. She had that taint in her sys- 
tem. Then I knew what to do. If it had not been for that one 
symptom, I would not have been able to help her. 

T HEN A FLU ORIN DIET IS NE EDED: The spleen is hungry for Fluorin. 
If you ever have a patient who suffers from spleen ailment, supply 
foods rich in Fluorin. The spleen cannot perform its function 
without Fluorin. 

The hair falls out in bunches when Fluorin is needed. All at once 
a whole bunch of hair falls out and maybe the eyebrows fall out al- 
so. 

Fluorin and Sodium are the two elements that enable us to utilize 
Calcium. The Calcium element cannot be organized without Sodium' 
and' Fluorin. Sodium keeps Calcium in solution, and Fluorin orga- 
nizes it. If there is a lack of Fluorin, there will be too much 
Calcium in this place, and not enough in another place, nor can the 
Calcium, element be organized. 

When a man's voice is goat-like in voice vibration, there is lack of 
Fluorin. 

When there is a lack of Fluorin, there is a tendency to pus: forma- 
tion. When there is a lack of F3,uorin there is also a lack of Oxy- 
gen; hence, the patient suffers from low oxidation in the tissues. 

There are many different forms of rheumatism. Rheumatism caused by 
a lack of Fluorin is characterized by numbness. 

All children who lack Fluorin are clumsy. The house-wife who lacks 
Fluorin will take a set of fine china dishes, carry them out, and 
perhaps drop them on the floor. 

Students deficient in Fluorin cannot pass examinations, perhaps be- 
cause there is a. lack of Fluorin, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. It is 
better to throw the books aside and eat the right kind of food, and 
get the thought factory in good condition first; then come back to- 
morrow. When there is a lack of Oxygen in the system, the brain 
cannot act.

A young lady only twenty years of age, is trying to live on dough- 
nuts and coffee. After a few years trouble develops somewhere in 
her system, she goes to a hospital. The surgeon cuts out some- 
thing. After leaving the hospital she is sick again. She needs 
another operation because her kidneys are loose. That surgeon 
never thought to ask that lady what she ate. Coffee, tea, white 
bread, bacon, pie, and other similar foods constitute the diet of 
that poor girl. 

One lady in whom Fluorin was lacking, told me she could hear roos- 
ters crow at great distances. 

When lime in the body is not being organized, Fluorin is lacking* 
Keeping Calcium in solution is the function of Fluorin and Sodium. 

When the Fluorin element is absolutely lacking, it produces that 
kind of symptoms that we describe here. When another element is 
lacking, as, for instance, Sodium, there will be a combination of 
symptoms. Those are "indirect* symptoms. 

A Fluorin-hunger patient can hardly wake up. You could almost 
carry him away, yet he does not wake up. 

A Fluorin-hunger patient has trouble with walking, dancing, or when 
he is in motion. 

Even though he does not speak, he is ugly just the same. 

Lack of Fluorin interferes with literary ability and capacity, and 
with the intellectual faculties. The Pargenic patient is a very 
poor speller. 

There is a swelling on the neck in Pargenic patients. 

A patient I was examining told me, that as he sat and looked at me, 
I looked as if I was ten miles away. When a patient talks like 
that, you know that Fluorin is lacking. 

There are no healing properties, in the bones, in the Fluor in-hunge:- 
patient. If you have a patient suffering from bone ailment, sup- 
ply him with a Fluorin diet, Fluorin organizes lime. Lime can- 
not be taken up by the bones when Fluorin is lacking. Fluorin 
acts upon the lime cells, helps to organize the lime cells, and 
makes the bones more strong. 

When saliva runs from the mouth, it shows a streak of idiocy. When 
a man walks around with his mouth open and the saliva runs from his 
mouth, it is usually too late. You see such patients in the asy- 
lum for the insane. 

Thore is a decomposed odor issuing from the body of a Fluorin star- 
vation patient.

The head of the Fluor in-hunger patient is so sensitive, that so soon 
as anything touches him he gets sick and fussy. 

If you vaccinate a, Pargenic man, you have something to answer for. A 
good doctor would not kill anyone. 

A pain in the ball of the eye, is one symptom that proves to you that 
you deal with a Fluor in-hunger patient. 

The face, tophead, and neck are greasy* If a Pargenic patient takes 
a. bath, he becomes sick. When the discharges are yellow, the patient 
has the Pargenic impurity at work in his system. That miasm affects 
the bones, because, when Fluor in is not normally at work in the bones 
there is also a. lack of Sodium in the system. Then, when there is 
much moisture in the atmosphere, the bones swell and the patient is 
gouty. That same thing happens if you take a barrel of unslaked 
'■ ime and place it where there is considerable moisture - the lime be- 
gins to swell. That happens also in the bones. All Calcium pa- 
tients are susceptible to moisture. That is the reason those pa- 
tients should be placed in a dry atmosphere. 

The tuberculosis patient, the Pargenic patient, the Isogenic man, 
suffer from the same kind of Calcium ailments. They should go to 
southern California. I do not know of any better place. There is 
no moisture there. Only ten inches of rain fall there per year, 
(during January and February). There you find dry sand, and a temp- 
erature that rises from 90 to 105, 110, 115 degrees Fahrenheit. The 
sun is pouring down and boils the very bones. At the same time, 
there is a breezy current at night. But during the day it is hot; 
yet no one suffered from sunstroke in southern California. In 
Chicago we have cases of sunstroke, but not in California. That is 
the place we should have a sanitarium for that kind of patients. 

If you put cold applications] on a Pargenic man, his ailment is aggra- 
vated. I would not advise a Pargenic patient to go to that sanita- 
rium where they turn the cold hose on nude patients. If there is 
anything a Pargenic, or Fluor in-hunger patient cannot endure, it is 
cold applications and cold baths. 

In the Fluorin patient, the eyebrows are bushy, the hair is pointing 
in all directions. 

He is better in the morning, but not in the evening. He says he 
feels a pain in his eyes going into his brain. 

The perspiration from the Fluorin-hunger person is sour, and the foot- 
sweat is unendurable. 

Some of those structures around the bones, and many of those mem- 
branes, are more or less affected, because of lack of Fluorin, 

I wish you would take a look at the tongue of a Pargenic patient. 
You would find it very dark, and so thick that it fills the entire 
mouth. Oxidation in the bones and brain is always deficient in 
the Pargenic.

It seems there is no system nor order about a Fluorin-hunger pa- 
tient. His wife has to take care of his belongings, because he 
drops one article here and another there. He throws his hat in 
one corner and his coat in another. He scatters things all over 
the house. 

It takes him a long time to answer a question, but when his brain 
starts, it goes on by its own momentum, 

He feels that no woman can be trusted, and that no. man can be re- 
lied upon. He has no faith in humanity* 

Those symptoms are not exactly distinct Fluor in-hunger symptoms, 
but they are transcient symptoms; they come and go* They are not 
permanent. They are caused by something else, in addition, 

The teeth in the Pargenic man are never uniform; one tooth is too 
wide; another tooth is too narrow; one sticks this way, another 
points that way; one is too long, another is too short. The teeth 
and the tongue tell the story. 

When he walks he totters as if he were drunk. Then he may walk 
two or three blocks and totter again, perhaps fall. 

The voice is deep down in his throat. ; : 

These are a few symptoms peculiar to the Fluor in-hunger patient. 
There may be others, besides Fargenics* who suffer from lack of 
Fluor in. They have those same symptoms, perhaps in milder form. 

0™CIPAL^ FLUORIN FOODS: Uhen we permit little children to run in 
the streets, what do they learn? Here is one boy who has a. bad 
habit which he teaches to your son. Every child, perhaps, has a 
bad habit which he teaches to your child while he is in the street. 
Thus, your boy is gaining in criminal knowledge. When he comes 
in, it is very likely that you give him food that contains no 
Fluorin, nor Sodium. 

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED: 

BROTH, Cartileginous - All bone joints contain Fluorin. When you 
buy a bone joint be sure that you get it from a young animal* Put 
all the greens you can into that water with the bone joint, and let 
it simmer, very slowly, for about six hours. Do not cook over a 
fast fire and send the Fluorin up to the ceiling where it is not 
needed. Save it for your bones. Get hold of greens growing in 
swamps; they are rich in Fluorin. Seagrass is rich in Fluorin. 
The seagrass that grows where the water is green is high in 
Fluorin. 

CAB3AGE - contains Fluorin. As a general rule, we can say that 
all sorts of food that contain lime also contain Fluorin to a cer- 
tain extent. You do not find much Fluorin in cabbage. Red cab- 
bage is rich in other salts, as is white cabbage. 



F-iae 

CAULIFLOWER - This is another kind of cabbage. There are many dif- 
ferent species of cabbage, but all contain Calcium and a small per- 
cent of Fluorin. 

GOAT'S CHEESE . - contains Fluorin- Anyone who eats cottage cheese 
should be sure that his intestines are in good condition. The cot- 
tage cheese we get comes from cow*s milk. Germs are very active 
upon cottage cheese; also upon the intestines. Cottage cheese al- 
ways affects the intestines. 

Almost all cheese is high in ash contents and low in Fluorin. But 
goa.t l -s cheese is high in Fluorin; also in ash contents. Goat's 
cheese contains more Fluorin than any other food, with the exception 
of some of those seagrasses. This is the reason why goat's cheese 
and goat's milk cottage cheese, and goat's milk are so valuable in 
times of bone construction. 

ROQUEFORT CHEESE - is high in ash and low in Fluorin. 

COD LIVER OIL - is medium in Fluorin, but high in ash. 

COLAX - comes from a certain sea in Japan. It does not help consti- 
pation much* but when Fluorin is supplied, germ-life must go. Lack 
of Fluorin results in pus formation in the intestines. You will 
have to be a very skilful osteopath to cure a patient when there is 
a lack of Fluorin. Massage treatments are valuable; also electric- 
ity; but, at the same time, never forget diet. Never forget the ma- 
terial that is used in building and repairing the body. 

We must not forget the scheme of the Almighty. But we do; that is 
the trouble with us. We forget the chemistry of food, food salts 
and food combinations, and depend upon surgeons, doctors, osteopa- 
thic treatments exclusively. A doctor in Colorado , when I told him 
to take up diet to cure his patients, said, tt Well, where would a doc- 
tor be if people knew how to eat? u If people knew how to eat they 
would not need doctors. 

FISH, BLACK BASS - All greenish fish contain a. certain percent of 
Fluorin, but if you cook the fish, the Fluorin goes up into steam. 

SPINACH - The hot-house spinach is not so good, because it is cover- 
ed with manure, and is full of germs. Do not eat the spinach rais- 
ed in hot-houses. 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS : 

1. What causes people to talk in their sleep? A. - Intensity of 
nerve and brain. 

2. wliat is the cause of excessive dreaming? A. - Toxins in the 
brain, or in the blood, acting upon the brain cells. 

3. What is indicated when a patient walks and strikes his foot 
against some obstruction and a. cold sweat seems to break out from 
every pore? A. - This is lack of Combativeness, or Courage. His 
nerves are shocked.

IODIN, ITS NA TURE AND CHARACTERISTICS: (a) Under the influence of 
Iodin, the brain becomes more active. Iodin affects the function 
of the brain more favorably because it helps to neutralize all 
toxins, that may possibly pa.ss up into the brain. The thyroid 
gland in the throat secrets Iodothyrin. If the thyroid secretion 
is not thrown upon the blood, all of the toxins that may be in the 
blood, as it passes into the brain, will affect the brain. The 
thyroid gland guards the brain. It guards against all of the 
toxins that otherwise would pass up into the brain and cause dis- 
ease, insanity, decay of the brain, softening of the brain, and 
many other ailments of a mental nature. 

Iodin, and the thyroid gland with its secretion are there to guard 
the brain. If a child is not sufficiently supplied with Iodin 
food, and with thyroid secretion, the child becomes feeble-minded, 
and cannot study successfully in school. The child goes about 
with wide-open eyes under-lip hanging down, and mucus running out 
of the mouth. 

Iodin is an element about which nothing was known thirty years ago. 
We did not know then, that there is Iodin in the human system. Vie 
found that out about 1890. Also, we know now that there are six- 
teen different chemical eleme^s at work in the human organization. 
Previous to 1890 we wrote and talked about fifteen chemical ele- 
ments in the human body. But after we learned about Iodin, we 
began to write about sixteen chemical elements. There may, possi- 
bly, be another chemical element, but we rather doubt it, because 
every secretion in the human body has been analyzed. 

Physiologists, doctors, and chemists have found out a great deal 
more about Iodin and its influence upon the human organization than 
they ever knew in regard to any other chemical element. Potassi-* 
um— iodid is being used in times of tertiary syphilis. When there 
is not sufficient Iodid in the system, a person is exceedingly 
sensitive to venereal miasms, or diseases. Iodin has its effect 
upon syphilis, and other sexual diseases, so much so that when a 
patient suffers from venereal disease, foods that contain Iodin are 
of the highest value. 

If there is a lack of Iodin and Silicon, the lining of the lungs, 
of the throat, the lining of the bronchial tubes, and a great many 
other linings are likely to suffer. In times of chronic consump- 
tion of the throat, foods that contain Iodin and Silicon are very 
important. After the disease has gone too far, we cannot cure it 
with an Iodin and Silicon diet, because the system may not assimi- 
late Iodin and Silicon any more. 

Whenever you suffer from catarrh, or bronchitis, eat foods rich in 
Iodin and Silicon, and breathe Oxygen in abundance. It is well 
to take treatments in connection, also. 

People of the Hydripheric Constitution, are usually well supplied 
with Iodin, It is because they are so well supplied with Iodin 



F-128 

that their lymphatic glands are so active. If you wish to reduce 
eat foods rich in Iodin. That is one of the functions of Iodin, 
to reduce. When it is supplied to excess, it will reduce obesity. 

(b) Iodin does not supply the brain with vitality, but it is invalu- 
able to the normal brain in prevention of toxins. The secretions 
will destroy toxins that would otherwise pass up into the brain and 
injure brain function. If the thyroid gland could not secret that 
important thyroid secretion which is essential for the brain and its 
function, the person would be in danger of brain trouble. 

The person who suffers from catarrh lacks Iodin, and many other 
raits. There are many kinds of catarrh, but anyone who "suffers 
from catarrh, suffers from a. lack of Oxygen, or lack of some one of 
the salts; also Iodin. 

The gland becomes overworked when there is a lack of Iodin. There 
is an enlargement of the gland. Sometimes that enlargement may 
affect the eyesight, or sexual system, or the lumbar center in the 
spinal cord, or perhaps some other organ. Iodin, also, has a. great 
deal to do with oxidation. Every one who suffers from catarrh, suf- 
fers from low oxidation, or lack of Oxygen. 

Tf some kind of metal enters the system, it will pass to some certain 
part of the body. If it is not organized metal, and an excess of 
that metal is taken up, the function may become transmuted, and dis- 
ease follows. 

Medical men are injecting goat glands. This is only a fad. Sacks 
of pus under the teeth are there, not because of rheumatism, but, 
because a person is acid in the tissues; the stomach and secretions 
are acid. A doctor who understands diet would not tell you to go to 
a dentist and have your teeth taken out. He would give you a diet 
to neutralize the acid. Otherwise you may become acid everywhere. 
Your joints will become acid. You will suffer from gout, rheumatism 
and other ailments. The doctor should treat that patient with elec- 
tricity and a. basic diet, and he will render the secretions more al- 
kaline. 

(d) The function of Iodin has been studied by doctors everywhere. 
They are more acquainted with the function of Iodin than they are 
with the function of any other element. I have read several arti- 
cles written in Japan on Iodin and its function. I have seen arti- 
cles written in Germany, Sweden, Austria, and other countries. 

(g) If you suffer from intestinal trouble, stomach trouble, gas gener- 
ation, acid stomach, it is because of a high albuminous diet,. If you 
do not have enough of Iodin, your stomach is acid; if there are al- 
ready, toxins in your system, egg white, or any albuminous food, may 
become toxin. That is why, if a person suffers from chronic indi- 
gestion, or acidosis, or acid formation, or tubercular ailment, we 
should not give him egg white. 

Oo not give a patient egg white in any form when he is sick, or weak, 
*11 sorts of fats, starches, meats, and egg white are dangerous foods. 
They cause sickness when you live on such foods and neglect Iodin.

LECTURE NOTES. COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. SUBJECT^! ODIN. 

FUNC TIONS OF I ODIN IN THE ..HUMAN ORGANIZATION: We dig our graves 
with our teeth. We eat ourselves into our graves. If we knew 
how to eat, to drink, to live, to work, to develop, I believe, 
perhaps, we could live to be as old as Methusalah. Scientists 
tell us that bones last two ..thousand or three thousand years. 
They tell us the muscles would live indefinitely; that we build a 
new heart every thirty days. I see no reason why we cannot go on 
and live. But we must know how to eat and drink. 

(h) When there is a lack of Nitrogen and Phosphorus; or when there 
is an alarming increase of Nitrogen and Phosphorus, it results in 
death. Iodin has much to do with the prevention of death. 

(i) When we speak of de-mineralized food articles, we refer to 
foods from which some chemical elements have been removed. White 
flour is a de-mineralized food product. The principal minerals 
have been taken out; the minerals are in the bran that is given to 
the horses. We give that de-mineralized white flour to children. 
The bran should be left in the flour; then we would get all the 
salts the Almighty put therein for the normal functions of the 
body. 

When the thyroid gland finds no mineral for functioning, it gets 
sick. Then comes the surgeon with his knife. He cuts out this 
gland, and that gland. All at once tumors may form. Perhaps 
the whole intestines may be nothing but a. mass of tumors. 

(j) The thyroid gland should be well supplied with the thyroid se- 
cretion. When children cannot get enough of the thyroid secre- 
tion, they become simple-minded. It is a crime to try to force 
mathematics into a child's brain when that brain lacks the thy- 
roid secretion. Give the child Iodin-containing foods, and >ou 
will not have to try to force mathematics into him; he will study 
it all right himself, and enjoy it. 

(k) The thyroid gland does not function in a child before he is 
two years, three years, or possibly five years, or even up to 
twelve years of age. Never give a child meat, or the white of 
eggs, until he is from three to twelve years of age, because the 
thyroid gland function cannot destroy albuminous, or protein 
t,oz--ms in the blood of that child. That is the reason the 
Almighty supplies the little child a milk diet. The Almighty r ' 
created cow's milk, goat's milk, mother's milk, so the child can 
get milk in early life. 

Never give babies food that is rich in sugar. Mother's milk con- 
tains only four percent to five percent of sugar. 

* 
Keep protein out of a child's system until the thyroid gland func- 
tions. If you suffer from catarrh avoid albuminous foods. 
That is the time you need a milk diet. 



(m) The brain cannot take up Oxygen very quickly. Oxidation in the 
brain is exceedingly slow. The more Phosphorus you have, the slow- 
er is oxidation in the brain. That is why we need more Icdm in our 
food when we have a large brain. That is why it is dangerous for 
us to use our brains when the thyroid gland' is weak. 

Iodin spurs the brain into action. Under the influence of Iodin, a 
min is able to expand the lungs more; take in more air and hold it 
longer. When there is' a lack of Iodin in the system, the range of 
the respiration is decreased, and the pulse runs up above ninety-five 
per minute. 

(o) Iodin increases oxidation in the system, Iodin is creative, or 
has a. creative effect. It is not the Iodin in itself, it is the 
a.ffect of Iodin upon Calcium secretion, Calcium metabolism, upon oxi- 
dation, thgit increase Oxygen in the system. Anything that increas- 
es Oxygen will also increase the creative power in the system. You 
know, if you suffer from anemia, you need Iron, Potassium chloride; 
the Vitamines, and Iodin in abundance. It is very important that 
you be placed where the altitude is high and the air is breezy in or- 
der to make the proper use of all these foods. Formerly, medical 
men recommended Iron for anemia, but, at last they found that Iron 
did not cure anemia, because,, it was drugstore Iron. That is why 
the Iron did not cure. They omitted Potassium-chloride, Iron, 
Iodin, and a high altitude. Anemia is likely to affect ladies of 
all constitutions, especially if the domestic life is not favorable. 

Iodin increases oxidation in the brain; hence, it has a constructive 
effect. 

(p) We should supply Iodin to growing children. That is one period 
of life when Iodin seems more important than at any other time. Be- 
tween the ages of fourteen and eighteen years, Iodin should be well 
supplied, while vigorous growth is going on. Iodin has a great deal 
to do with puberty. If Iodin is then lacking in the system, that 
period comes much later, or may not come at all. If Iodin is well 
supplied at the time of puberty, blood is made abundantly, and the 
person becomes more vigorous. Therefore, supply an Iodin diet to 
growing children; then oxidation becomes more perfect. The sexual 
functions, and the brain become more complete. 

(q) Do not go to the goat or rabbit for blood. Aim to manufacture 
your own serum. The Almighty never told us to go to the sheep, or 
the rabbit for serum. 

There is life in blood. The life in a certain individual changes 
the chemistry of the blood. If you take the blood from one person 
and inject it into another person, you may kill that person. If 
somebody offers, when needed,, look him over very carefully and be 
sure the blood is pure. But, best of all, manufacture your own 
blood and Iodin,. 

Iodin has its period, Calcium has its period. To build good teeth 
start in at the age of seven, or sooner. So it is with other el- 
ements. Every element has its own period, its own organs* its own 
functions, and its own faculty.

CONS TITUTIONS IN VJHICH IODIN IS INHERENTLY - EXCESSIVE : Iodin is 
excessive in no constitution, unless we supply it to excess. No 
people eat abundantly, foods rich in Iodin. They do not know 
what foods contain Iodin. 

Every man should develop his own functions. Nature's work is 
very slow. It takes nature twenty years to build a man out of a 
baby, During that time nature *s work goes on more efficiently 
than at any other period. 

SYMPTOMS WHEN IODIN IS EXCESSIVE: (1) There are some nerves in 
the system that are not functioning equally with the brain. The 
patient goes from one extreme to another. He is first pessimis- 
tic, then optimistic. At one time his nerves are drawing him in 
one direction, at another time in another direction, 

(3) He cannot tolerate anything sharp. If you take up a knife 
and show him the point, he gets uneasy and restless. He cannot 
tolerate a scraping sound on glass. It works on his nerves. He 
does not want to see an animal with bristles. 

You know Phosphorus is of such a nature that it forms certain ha- 
bits. If a Phosphorus man or woman begins to think of a certain 
disease, maybe Hydrophobia; he thinks about it and at last he gets 
it. He reads of the symptoms of it, and at last imagines he has 
it himself and pretty soon he develops it. Perhaps dies of it. 
The brain becomes neurotic. There are many Phosphorus people who 
suffer from neurotic nerves, even from psychotic ailments. 

If you tell a Phosphorus man that he is being killed; and another 
man meets him and tells him the same thing; and then another man 
tells him he is being killed; at last the Phosphorus man thinks 
he is being killed and he will die. 

Some scientists experimented on a criminal condemned to death. 
They told him they were going to bleed him to death. They blind- 
folded him and brought a tub of water. Just at the time when one 
man dropped water into the tub, drop by drop, the surgeon put a 
sharp knife to one of the arteries of the criminal. He was not 
cut at all, but he thought that drop of water was his own blood. 
He heard the doctors talking about how pale he was getting. Be- 
fore the night was over he was dead. But you could not do that 
with a Calciferic or Isogenic man; only with a man who suffers 
from lack of Phosphorus and Iodin. 

We talk about powerful imagination. That is what we can do with 
imagination,. We can do that with certain people, but not with 
others. If it is a Neurogenic man, we can kill him with all 
sorts of stories. We can make him sick; we can tell him his li- 
ver is diseased,, and he believes it. It is the nerves working ■ 
unfavorably on those organs. It is a case of neurotic nerves 
when a man suffers from Iodin-hunger. He becomes neurotic. It 
is a morbid disease:-. 



F-L32 

When you talk about disease, he feels that he has that disease. When 
you talk about a. cat living in his stomach, he believes he has a cat 
living in his stomach. That is imagination* People like that are 
psychotic, or neurotic. 

HE LPFUL HIN TS: (a) If you want to experiment in regard to Iodin dis- 
eases;, always pick a Pathetic, or sentimental type, one who cries 
easily,, interested in humanity, a little weak in the heart. But her 
on a strong TOdin diet and see how quickly she responds to Iodin 
foods. There are some people who do not respond to Iodin at all, or 
very little; as, for instance, the Calciferic man or woman are not > ' 
very sensitive to Iodin foods. In fact, the Calciferic is hot sen- 
sitive to anything because Calcium resists. The Gale if eric, has that 
same Combativeness and Firmness that causes him to throw, off any- 
thing that comes to him. If you tell him something in regard to him- 
self he contradicts, it. When we deal with a Calcium man, we must 
deal with him in the way of suggestion. We must say it in such a 
way as if to insinuate that he believes it. Tell him that, "If I 
understand you rightly, I think you are in sympathy with so and so" » 
The same with a Calciferic girl. If she has fallen in love with 
some man, then you have just simply to force her to marry him* and 
then she leaves him alone. The more we try to force a man like that, 
the more he resists. You cannot force a Calciferic man into heaven 
with a club. . 

(b.o) If there is an excess of Iodin the eyes go to sleep* The eye- 
lids fall down and cannot lift<< It is difficult to lift the upper 
eyelid. That is the Iodin patient. If you listen to the heart me- 
chanism in an Iodin patient, you find tremor in the heart; also in 
the nerves. The Iodin patient and the tobacco patient have the same 
kind of a heart, or heart beat. 

The Iodin, or Phosphorus patient, would never pass an insurance exami- 
nation. It is not a" screw" loose in the brain, but brain decay. 
The brain is deteriorating. In other words, Iodin is degenerating. 

(e) He is restless and uneasy if there is a deficiency of Iodin. He 
is first here, then over there. Now he is in the waste basket, then 
he is up on the desk. Just uneasy and restless. You know the 
Iodin patient can never sit still. If he sits down he is doing some- 
thing with his fingers. All sorts of peculiar motions, like a jump- 
ing jack. You can see little children like that. There is not 
enough Iodin in the system, and too much Oxygen. You know Oxygen is 
full of motion. The Iodin is being used up too rapidly. You try 

to make him behave himself. That is lack of Iodin. A doctor will 
give him bromin when what he needs is Iodin foods. 

(f ) Amyloid means - starch generation. He becomes starch drunk. 
Then he grows heavy. The flesh is hanging over everywhere. That 
is starch poison. 

Cg) The anatomy of the body is very peculiar. There sits the thy- 
roid gland in the throat. The Almighty placed it right there where 
the blood is going up into the brain, to increase oxidation in the 
brain. The brain is burning up with Phosphorus. Oxidation is slow 
between Phosphorus and Oxygen. Iodin increases oxidation. In 
other words, it sets the brain going. It puts fire to the brain.

It" increases heat and oxidation in the brain. It arouses the 
brain cells,- increases memory, intellectuality, and personality. 
In Iodin starvation, the brain is sick. It is diseased. It 
cannot think or reason. The pupil is a dull student. If you 
use the intellect too much, you use up'the Iodin in the thyroid 
gland, or the Iodin secretion. Then you must fall back upon a 
strong Iodin diet. 

FOOD ANALYSIS EXPLAINED: 

SMOKED SALMON - The amount of Iodin found in smoked salmon and 
certain other salts also found in smoked salmon, make it a. very 
good food. That is, smoke! salmon, not canned; not the fresh 
salmon. Just in smoked salmon. 

SHRIMP - I would not recommend shrimp because it contains a 
poison, in the first place, and it will generate a great deal of 
gas, because it is rich in Sulphur. 

You find a small trace of Iodin in oatmeal, and in whole wheat, 
but it is so little. Iodin is not found in Irish moss to any 
great extent, only .003 percent, yet that is the richest Iodin 
food. 

Iodin is found in these foods only in the smallest quantities. 
If there is any trouble with the thyroid gland; or any trouble 
with the brain; or with the various nerves, and linings, in the 
system, then we must fall back upon a heavy Iodin diet. 

The best Iodin foods are - Cod Liver Oil, Green Turtle, Smoked 
Salmon, and Irish moss. Feed backward boys and girls who can- 
not understand anything at school, Green Turtle, Smoked Salmon, 
and Irish Moss. 



QUES TIONS AN D ANSWERS, : 

1. What can be done for a young girl who is showing signs of a 

goitre? A. - Place her on a heavy Iodin diet, and the goitre 

will disappear in the course of a year or two. Give her also 
plenty of fresh air, and a constructive diet. 

S. What about numbness when a person sleeps, and then wakes up 
due to numbness in hands, arms, or legs? A. — Numbness is not 
a good indication, whether it be numbness in the daytime, or numb- 
ness at night. There should be no numbness., If there is numb- 
ness, it shows that some one of the motor nerves, or of the motor 
centers is weak, and this means that it is necessary to recuper- 
ate and nourish the cerebellum and the motor nerves, or the motor 
centers. 



3. Will honey reduce vitality the 
will neither reduce vitality, nor 
else than one kind of sugar. 



same as sugar? A. — Honey 
increase it. Honey is nothing 



M3£ 

C. mil honey develop all backhead faculties in the same manner 
that "it develops the sexual system? A'. - Honey does not de- 
velop the backhead faculties, and neither does it develop trie sexual 
system. Eucalyptus honey contains a certain principle that is 
called Eycalyptol, and this Eucalyptol acts as atonic, or stimulant 
to the sexual system* This is the reason why we recommend' eucalyp- 
tus honey in times of sexual weakness* Honey supplies a certain 
sw.aet, and also certain salts needed by the muscles, and if this 
sweet is needed, honey helps development* 

5. The Carboferic people suffer from sugar fermentation. People 
with weak Aliment iveness suffer because they cannot utilize sugar. 
Do they both suffer from sugar fermentation? A. - Yes, if they 
eat foods that are rich in sugar. If a man is weak in Aliment ive- 
ness, he cannot utilize very much sugar. Hence, also, he must ex- 
clude sugar from his diet, i.e., he should not use any more sugar 
than he can utilize, for if he does, he will surely suffer from gas 
and sugar fermentation. 

6. If coffee is taken away from a person all at once after many years 
of constant use, does it not cause a great reaction in the body? 

A. '—Yes, it results in headache, weakness, and general disturbanc- 
es, but those disturbances are for the better, 

7. What is the cause of tartar on the teeth, and how can the tartar 
be removed and the teeth made white again? A. - The tartar is 
the result of mineral salts that do not belong in the body, or else 
the eating of foods that do not contain the vegetable salts which 
have a soluble effect upon mineral salts. Tartar on the teeth can 
only be removed by the dentist. The acid which strawberries and 
raspberries contain, acts upon the tartar of the teeth f - if this 
juice is held in the mouth for some time, especially by leaning for- 
ward with the head so that the juice may come in contact with the 
tartar on the teeth. However, the juice, or the acid in strawber- 
ries and raspberries would not remove the tartar altogether . 

Si. What causes cold spots above the knees? A. - When there are 
any cold spots on the body, you may be sure that the red corpuscles 
of the blood have been broken down, and that acid is at work on the 
nerve structures at that very spot. Eat Vitamines, and a strong 
Iron diet, and also foods that are rich in Iodin. 

9. What is the cause of lines in the face? How can those lines be 
removed? A. - Lack of vegetable salts. Those lines can be re- 
moved by breathing plenty of fresh air, by retiring at eight o 1 clock 
in the evening, and introducing foods that are rich in vegetable 
salts. 

10. Which are the salts that keep the cerebellum in perfect condi- 
tion? A. - Potassium-chloride. 

11. How would you keep the cerebellum in a good condition? A. - 
By retiring early, by taking normal exercises during the day. By 
living in the hills and breathing fresh air in abundance, and by 
eating foods that are rich in Potassium chloride.

SUL PHUR I N THE M INERAL AND VEGETABLE KINGDOMS: Sulphur is one .of 
.the most important of the chemical elements'. If it were not for 
Sulphur we would not be here. There would" be no life without Sul- 
phur* There would be nothing else than deatho Sulphur has a 
great function to perform in its relation to life. 

SULPHUR, ITS NATURE A ND CH ARACTERISTICS: The Sulphur patient is 
sensitive to atmospheric gases, to heat, cold', to external and in- 
ternal conditions. Sulphur is remarkable for its changes, its 
peculiarities, also for its capacity to adapt itself to other ele- 
mental conditions. That holds good also in regard to the Exesthe- 
sic lady. She is exceedingly adaptable. At the same time, she 
is a great deal like Sulphur in characteristics. There is a great 
similarity between the characteristics of the Sulphur element and 
the characteristics of the Sulphur lady. 3he has those peculiar 
Sulphur characteristics; she changes with the weather. In other 
words, atmospheric gases and conditions have a. great affect upon 
her. 

(f) "Whenever Sulphur enters into the human body to excess, or into 
any metal, there" is but little strength. The steel is not so good 
if it contains considerable Sulphur and Carbon. The rails are 
brittle, so that a sudden jerk in the locomotive may break them. 
If there is a great deal of Carbon and Sulphur in any metal there 
is not great strength. That holds good also in regard to the Sul- 
phur lady. She does not have a great deal of strength nor endur- 
ance. The Sulphur lady is of such a nature that she needs inter- 
vals of rest. She can work for a while, then she must rest. 
She should go out into the fresh, open-air. If you have a Sulphur 
lady for a stenographer, you must not keep her sitting still all 
the time, day after day, week after week. If you do, you will 
kill her. Sulphur is an element of variation. This is true of 
the Sulphur lady* 

FUNCTIONS -OF SULPHUR IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION: There cannot be 
life without Sulphur in the protoplasm. " Take the Sulphur out of 
the protoplasm and you have dead protoplasm. Take the Sulphur out 
of the egg yolk and there is no life in the egg* Take the Sulphur 
out of the human being, and he will soon die. If there is a lack 
of Sulphur there will be a lack of bile; there will be ailments 
with the liver function. There will be a lack of lecithin for the 
brain. You will suffer from nervous prostration in the course of 
time, if Sulphur is not supplied. If the Sulphur is broken down 
too rapidly, you will run into nervousness, or there will be a 
weakness in the sexual system. If there is a lack of Sulphur, 
there will also be a. lack of life in the generative substance, and 
that man will be impotent; he is not able to become a father. 
The lady is said to be sterile and cannot become a mother. They 
cannot produce life. 

Man is the life-giver. He has. greater power to secrete life than 
the lady has. He is more able to utilize Sulphur in the genera- 
tive substance. It is because he is created, as he is that he can 



F-I38 

utilize Sulphur to a greater extent. He is the one to start life, 
and the woman is the one to continue life. In both instances Sul- 
phur is needed. If Sulphur consumption is too great in a mother, 
she is unable to become a. mother; she is sterile. If Sulphur con- 
sumption is too great in a. man, he is unable to become a father. If 
a man is not able to utilize Sulphur in sufficient quantities and in- 
corporate it into the generative substance, he is impotent. 

Because Sulphur has so much to do with the flow of bile, when there 
is a deficiency of Sulphur, the patient suffers from constipation. 
Here we have one kind of constipation caused by lack of Sulphur in 
the liver. Also in the various functions. When there is 8. suf- 
ficient amount of Sulphur acting upon the liver, there will be a 
greater flow of bile in the alimentary canal and' intestines, which 
will become more active. 

K strong mental temperament, or a brainy man, has great intensity and 
is burning up Sulphur too rapidly. When insufficient Sulphur acts 
upon the liver, its function becomes sluggish; resulting in constipa- 
tion. Constipation may be due to lack of Sodium, or to a lack of 
Magnesium, and still, constipation may be due to a lack of 
some BQtl of lubricant in the form of some needed fat. In still 
another, constipation may be due to a lack of Sulphur. In another 
kind there may be an excess of fatty acid. Constipation has many 
causes. When a doctor gives a patient some strong drug for consti- 
pation, it is not always wise. He should supply that which is need- 
ed in the system. In order to do that it becomes necessary to un- 
derstand human types. 

I supplied a Sulphur diet to a. man who had been drinking grape juice 
for three years, until his liver became enlarged. He told me that 
he had been drinking one quart of grapejuice a day for three years. 
He drank it because he wanted to improve his complexion, and because 
he wanted to live longer. I told him that . if he continued drinking 
grapejuice like that for three years more, he would be in his grave, 
complexion and all. I put him on a very heavy Sulphur diet. That . 
reaches the liver. That is what Sulphur does when it is abundantly 
supplied where there is enlargement of the liver, it decreases the 
size of the liver. Sulphur food is exceedingly good for the promo- 
tion of bile and liver action. In cases like that,, it is important-. 
to supply Sulphur foods. 

The generative substance can never be supplied in normal quantities 
without a certain amount of Sulphur is supplied in foods. Remember 
that Sulphur food must not be cooked. Sulphur is a. peculiar element. 

The mental man, the muscular man, the Exesthesic, the Nervi-Motive, 
are exceedingly susceptible to all kinds of moisture. A great many 
animals and a great many people, who are strongly developed in the 
cerebellum, are exceedingly sensitive to all sorts of atmospheric 
conditions. Such people feel it in their bones. The}?- say that it 
is going to rain before night. They cannot give any reason, but 
they feel it some way. They feel that it is going to rain, and pos- 
sibly about four o'clock there is rain falling. When a man has 
that kind of a development, he is a better weather prophet than a me- 
teorologist. The meteorologist gets a telegram that a storm is 
blowing in the direction of Chicago. Then he figures, out how long

it will take that storm to reach Chicago* It may turn out that_ 
he is mistaken, because some current meets that current, neutrali- 
zes it, and we get no storm. 

The Sulphur lady is sensitive to all sorts of currentsand gasesin 
the atmosphere, because the Sulphur element is a. little too active 
in her. If you eat too many Sulphur foods to-night, and the same 
to-morrow, and the next day, and so on, you will, lastly, feel as 
if you were drunk. You are not yourself. There is something pe- 
culiar at work within. You feel as if you are food drunk* You 
do not have full control of your feelings, nor of your brain. You 
cannot remember dates, nor names ► We should not eat Sulphur foods 
to excess, because if we do we will net have- full .control of our 
faculties. If we eat a normal amount of Sulphur, we feel more 
vigorous. If we eat a little more, we feel stimulated. If we 
eat too much, memory fails. Ycu can weaken the best memory in the 
world by four meals of Sulphur food. Cooked Sulphur will have a 
bad effect, even one meal,, because it is more rapidl}? - converted in- 
to gas. 

If we eat an excess of Sulphur, especialljr cooked Sulphur, it will 
be rapidly converted into gas so that it interferes with oxidation. 
•If Sulphur is converted into gas, that same gas enters into the 
red corpuscles of the blood, and fills the hemoglobin, so that the 
hemoglobin can carry no Oxygen. 

Coal gas, Sulphur gas, and other ga.ses will pass into the red cor- 
puscles of the blood. It will stay there so that the Iron in the 
hemoglobin of the red corpuscles becomes useless, and we suffer 
from lack of free Oxygen, both in the blood and in the tissues. 

Excessive Sulphur results in low oxidation and anemia will result* 
We may think, sometimes, that diet has nothing to do with it, but 
it certainly has. If we eat doughnuts and coffee for a. few meals, 
we will suffer for it. Sulphur is always slow in its action. It" 
is accumulative; it increases. In other words, if you eat a meal 
rich in Sulphur, you will not suffer to-night, nor to-morrow morn- 
ing, but you will suffer later on. Suppose you eat Sulphur to- 
day, a little more to— morrow, and increase it at every meal: It 
is cumulative. The more Sulphur you eat, the more you retain, and 
the more you will suffer later on,, not the first days, but after it 
has reached its cumulative volcanic action. 

If you suffer from Sulphur symptoms, there is nothing better than 
ozone and cold wind. That holds good with Exesthesic ladies* 
They should go where they can get sufficient of ozone, and where it 
is windy. When a patient suffers from Sulphur symptoms, he wants' 
to be fanned. The colder the fan, the better he feels, because 
Sulphur is worked off by wind and cold J* When you suffer from Sul- 
phur symptoms, you feel relieved when the cold strikes you. That 
is the reason that the Sulphur' patient wants the window open and 
the air very cold. The Sulphur lady likes to take a cold plunge, 
in the morning* Then, she feels better* Then, the functions 



F-13S 

begin to act. The husband of a Sulphur lady said it was just simply 
impossible to live near her in the morning before she had taken her 
cold bath, after which she was more pleasing. The medical man says 
the Sulphur lady is imaginative. He cannot understand her symptoms 
and ailments. But it is not imagination. This is where we deal, 
with the chemistry of man, with the symptoms peculiar to the various 
elements, Iron, Sulphur, Oxygen, Carbon, etc. Each has its own 
characteristics. 

The man who eats Sulphur foods becomes filled with Sulphur gas. The 
food is converted into gas. 

(d) Keratin contains Sulphur. If there is not very much 3ulphur 
in the hair, it is black. If there is a little more Sulphur, the 
hair, perhaps, is dark brown. More Sulphur and the hair is light- 
brown. Still more Sulphur and the hair may become golden, or red. 
The red-haired man or woman has more Sulphur in the hair because Sul- 
phur consumption is greater. And then, there is usually always more 
temper. There is greater responsiveness in any one having red hair. 
If one gets angry, he is intensely angry. Sulphur patients usually 
fall into the hands of nerve specialists, who may doctor them for a 
long time. But they never think of sending them to a different cli- 
mate, where they can get fresh, cold air in abundance. 

The Sulphur lady already has Sulphur symptoms. You find Sulphur 
products in the Exesthesic patient* 

(g) Unless the doctor knows about Sulphur constitutions, he cannot 
measure the Sulphur in the system, because it disappears everywhere. 
When you perspire there is -Sulphur. Sulphur is passing away all 
the time from the body. You find Sulphur in the secretions, Sulphur 
here, and Sulphur there. 

If children suffer from excessive Sulphur consumption, there will be 
eczema. It appears on the face, chest, and other parts of the body. 
If you take that child to a 'doctor, he may smear ointment over it. 
If you eat too much Sulphur food ail at once, there will appear lit- 
tle red pimples on the forehead, or perhaps on the top of the head, 
or under the arm. These pimples will itch. Soon eczema comes, 
and the doctor gives you ointment to smear on. But it seldom oc- 
curs to you, or to your doctor, that you have been eating too much 
Sulphur foody that there is excessive Sulphur consumption.. 

If a patient suffers from syphilis, and you put him on a heavy Sul- 
phur diet, there is a. running sore in the middle of some long bone, 
an ulcer, which keeps running. The more Sulphur food he eats, the 
more that ulcer runs. Sulphur is driving the syphilis out «f the 
body. 

All such foods that are rich in Sulphur, very high in Potash, can 
drive a miasm out of the body. When a patient comes to you with a 
running ulcer; if you heal it up, you are retaining that impurity in 
the bod}?-. Ytfhen you see any impurity or any eruption any/here at 
the surface of the body, that is not the result of a special diet,. 
leave it alone. That is another way of curing it.

(i)~ You have volcanoes in the bowels of the earth. You have al- 
so volcanoes in young Sulphur girls* When the Sulphur lady is 
young, she is likely to fall into bad habits. The Sulphur girl 
needs watching, not because she is bad, but because she is intense. 
Sulphur is at work in the liver, in the nerves, in the sex brain. 
You should never let a. Sulphur lady become a stenographer. She 
should go up into the hills. She should have variation. Let 
her sit still at a machine, and she will soon be sick, 

(.1) There is a great sensitiveness of nerves in the Sulphur lady. 
The Sulphur lady can live five years in six months- She is highly 
strung. Sulphur increases as it works. It gets worse s.nd worse. 
That is the nature of Sulphur. If there is too much Sulphur; if 
there is not enough of Sulphur; if the Sulphur is broken down too 
rapidly; the relative ailments are about the same. 

(m) K Sulphur diet will have its affect upon the hair. It is pos- 
sible by a. continuous Sulphur diet, to change the color of the 
hair and the skin, not all at once, but in time. A lady in Daven- 
port had a birth-mark which I cured by putting her on a heavy Sul- 
phur diet. We can change the color of the hair by introducing 
more Sulphur into the diet. He can make the hair dark by intro- 
ducing more Nitrogen and living in a. warm climate. A high Sul- 
phur diet and a cold climate always makes the hair and skin lighter . 

Cn) Sulphur has to do with the regulation of the temperature in 
the nerves- In all brain centers that have anything to do with 
sensation, Sulphur is. necessary. There are certain centers in 
the body that are called heat centers. There is a heat center in 
the wrist, in the ankles,, in the small of the back, in the neck. 
When a. person suffers from cold all those centers should be pro- 
tected. A lady who suffers from sexual weakness cannot sleep 
well, alwaj's.. She should not go without warm covering around her 
neck, wrists and ankles. 

If we supply a diet rich in Sulphur and Neurol in great quantities, 
and place such a Patient in a climate like southern California, we 
improve her. 

Co) You never yet found a pugilist among Exesthesic men. A Desmo- 
genic pugilist could whip twenty Exesthesic men easily. Great 
Sulphur consumption never produces great strength. 

Cp). Sulphur and Carbon make instruments brittle and almost useless. 
The same thing is true in the human organization. The Sulphur 
lady can never use her brain as well as the Calciferic man. The 
Isogenic can study for hours without fatigue. Look at our Edison. 
That is always the case when a man has a great amount of Calcium. 
in his Constitution. But the Exesthesic man can never study like 
the Calciferic or Isogenic can. An Exesthesic cannot do a great 
deal of scientific or philosophical work, because his brain would 
give out . 



F-140 

TRe Sulphur lady has a small-sized liver. I" have helped to di'.sreet 
six Exesthesic people, and the liver was small in each one cf then. 
The liver in some types is three tines as large as the liver in some 
other types. The Isogenic manufactures brain substances, faster 
than the Exesthesic. The Exe&thesic man is weaker sexually than the 
Isogenic. 

(qO Wherever life is at work there is Sulphur inaction. If you 
cook an egg, boil or fry it, you kill the life principle. Life can- 
not stand great heat, nor great cold. Even a very high altitude 
will have its effect' upon life. There are certain animals that 
never breed in high altitudes-. We can stay in a certain altitude a 
certain length of time; that altitude which is not for us, however, 
we must go away from, and go to that altitude which is the one for 
us-. Great heat favors life. Louisiana, Calif ornia r Egypt, or any 
warm climate, has a constructive effect upon the vital organs. If 
a person, at the same time, will supply himself with foods contain- 
ing the Vitamines, he will gain in youthfulness. Send a girl to 
southern California-, and her charms will come back. She will in- 
crease her matrimonial possibilities, especially if she will fall 
back upon those foods that will give her those elements she is in 
need of. But if she lives on bccon, sausage, pie, cake, pastry, 
doughnuts, coffee, tea, she will lose her charms, even in California. 

IT you cook Sulphur food it is mainly converted into gas. Boiled 
Sulphur is of no value. In some foods, as, for instance, German 
sauer-kEaut , you can boil the Sulphur and the boiling does not hurt 
it. When you have a great deal of Chlorin and Sodium in food to 
protect Sulphur, you can eat Sulphur in cooked form. 

Cs) Without Sulphur there is no sensation. Sulphur itself has a 
great deal to do with nerve life and nerve nutrition. When the 
Sulphur element is lacking in the nerves, in the secretions, when it 
is not acting upon the brain, there is a lack of sensation. 

The Sulphur lady may have her faults, but she is very highly organiz- 
ed just the same. The Sulphur type is one of the highest types. 
That is true of all people who have the Sulphur element well organiz- 
ed into their tissue „ and acting upon the secretions and upon the 
brain. 

If you want to drive out a miasm from the body, remember that you 
must first fall back upon a heavy Sulphur diet; also a. Potassium diet 
diet. Potassium has an influence upon certain miasms. The Potas- 
sium and acid found in red currant, or currant juice, will drive 
miasms out of the body. Sulphur has its affect upon syphilis, and 
will help to drive it out. There are certain elements that we must 
fall back upon in times of disease like that. If a man suffers 
from syphilis, he needs a heavy Sulphur, Chlorin, Fluorin and Iron 
diet. In the course of time that man would improve constitutionally. 

(u) Phosphorus is used in the soul, or psychical process in mental 
life and soul expression. The intellectual man uses Phosphorus very 
much. The Atrophic man, who may be as weak as a baby, may be ma- 
terialistic, may not believe in anything, but he is scientific and 
philosophical, though there may be no soul life in him, nor about him.

Your wife may have the mental side of her nature well developed. 
The intellectual process does not crave very much Sulphur. But 
the mental processes require a great deal of Sulphur. Sulphur 
has a. great deal to do with Phosphorus, and with the psychical pro- 
cesses* Sulphur and Phosphorus unite in mental life and expres- 
sion. Where Sulphur is srvbive in an organization, you may be 
sure chat you find soul life and emotion. Where only Phosphorus 
in at work; where only the intellect and will faculties are a2 
work > there you find the materialistic mind. Wherever Sulphur 
consumption is great, the mental life is great, also there is a 
greater soul, or, at least, the soul is more active* 

If you experiment on a man of high soul life, and take away from 
his diet all Sulphur foods, that man falls in soul intelligence. 
His soul and social faculties sink- I did it once. I measured 
his head and tophead, which measured fifteen inches when I started 
the experiment. When I was through, it measured thirteen and one- 
half inches. It had sunk two inches. The backhead had sunk al- 
so. You have the soul at work in the backhead, and in the top- 
head. A" man strong in those brain parts believes in religion. 
He does good in the world. When all those faculties are strongly 
developed, they crave Sulphur. There also you have Phosphoro- 
psychical processes at work. But in the materialist you do not 
find so much Sulphur at work, nor so much soul life. 

A man with nothing else than intellect is nothing but reason. He 
reasons away Heaven, hell, and everything else. Reason demands 
reason, but the soul does not need reason. It is no use to ar- 
gue religion with a. materialist. To be religious, a man needs a 
soul first. 

The soul is more active in one man than in another man- The soul 
is more active in a woman than it is in a man. As a general rule, 
men do not go to church to any great extent. The church is usual- 
ly full of women. Women, as a rule, are more religious than men. 
If a. mother was not religious, what would the next generation be? 
What would .become of morality? The Almighty grafts religion into 
the race through the mother?. 

(v) When there is a lack of Sulphur, the soul is sick. A" man is 
sick in the brain. There you have sickness that cannot be cured 
with any medicine, nor any kind of treatments. There you need 
something else. 

(w) R great many men will fall in love with the Exesthesic lady. 
Exesthesic ladies are very attractive. We become fascinated by 
her, but if a man marries her, he finds it difficult to live with 
her, because she is too highly developed for him. Ladies like 
that do not belong here below. They belong in heaven. There are 
too many disagreeable things here below. She is blamed too much. 
In the Exesthesic lady, you have a. lady like a, harp with, a thousand 
strings. She is certainly interesting. In her Sulphur consump- 
tion is great. 



(x) When Sulphur consumption is great and a person eats too many Sul- 
phur foods;, the excess of Sulphur: is converted into gas; gas and" acid 
are retained in the body. The Sulphur' lady is always acid. It is 
gasr of a Sulphur nature that enters into the red" corpuscles and" in- 
terferes with oxidation of the blood, and makes her exceedingly ner- 
vous and irritable, She suffers from nervous diseases. Those ner- 
vous ailments cannot be cured by anything else than a basic diet and 
ozrcne. The Sulphur lady needs Ozrone and cold wind* There is no—. 1 
thing better- for Sulphur acid, or gas, than double Oxygen,, or. ozone. 
Oxygen is an element that works in conjunction with Sulphur. Where 
Sulphur is active, Oxygen will also be active. Also,. Oxygen is re- 
quired' in abundance* The greater the Sulphur consumption in the 
body, the more Oxygen we need. The more Sulphur food we eat, the 
more ozone we need, also cold wind to play upon us. and the more ex- 
ercise we need'. Sulphur always- comes- to the surface of the body in 
times of great Sulphur- consumption.. 

When Sulphur and Phosphorus are at work, a. great deal of Phosphorus, 
is broken down, also Sulphur. Then, Magnesium is neededV 

(y) The Sulphur lady is not exactly a nervous lady. She is uneasy.. 
There is too much heat in her nerves.- If a man marries a Sulphur 
lady he should take her to the hills. 

Nitropheric people are affinities to Sulphur people,, not physical, so 
much as mental affinities. The Nitropheric makes the Exesthesic an 
excellent mental affinity, but they do not give rise to vigorous- 
offspring. If a Sulphur lady marries an Isogenic man, she has bet- 
ter children, but she will quarrel with him. 

Caa) When there is electricity in the atmosphere the Exesthesic 
feels uncomfortable. If she gets irritable, look for a thunder- 
storm, It is interesting to compare these things. You will be 
surprised" at those laws a.t work unseen, in the very atmosphere and 
soul of man. 

(ac) Nerves irritated all of the time produces a dissatisfied mind. 

(ad") Sulphur types are always highly emotional. 

A normal amount of Sulphur in the body and secretions, acting upon . 
the nerves and brain cells, is better than many volumes on eugenics, 

^JXITOTION^ - (a) Excessive- ■. 

Sulphur is excessive when too much Sulphur is taken up and- too much, 
is broken down». If a. Carboferic person eats a high Sulphur diet, 
there would be no Sulphur symptoms, because Carboferic people cannot • 
take up and utilize Sulphur. When Sulphur is taken up and utilized 
in the body> and the supply becomes excessive, certain Sulphurous 
products are formed in the system, which results in Sulphur symptoms. 

At all times when there is excess of Sulphur, there is a love, of 
change and variety. At one time there is complaint, at another op- 
timism, at a third time, pessimism. At one time a lady is in high 
spirits, high, health, and, perhaps, in a. few hours, she feels uncom- 
fortable, and then there is always much temper, At one time love 
rules,., at another time she could tear out the heart of her husband.

At one time she is full of fear, at another time she is courageous., 
at still another time, timid as a rabbit. At one time she is 
peaceful, then quarrelsome; at one time she jumps with joy, then 
becomes very depressed* At' one time she is as proud as a 
Spaniard, at another time she condemns herself and her every ac- 
tion, and feels as- little as an earth—worm. At one time she is . 
exclusive, at another time familiar, then liberal, then selfish. 
A J ' : . one time she is economical, perhaps even stingy. 

This is Sulphur, or changeableness. and variety. The Sulphur lady 
is something like the moon, she has all sorts of changing charac- 
teristics, and yet she herself is not changeable. You know it is 
not in the soul of the lady, it is not in the will, nor in the 
reason of the lady that all of this takes place. It is in the 
disposition, or in the temperament. They say people are tempera- 
mental, when, in fact, the only temperamental lady we have is the 
Exesthesic,. and it happens only when Sulphur is in excess. 

Sulphur consumption is the very thing that produces such character- 
istics. At one time the Sulphur lady would punish you, at 
another time she would forgive you. At one time she is kind, and 
then she may be cruel. She is something like the moon.. The 
moon is always on the increase or on the decrease, and this is how 
the Sulphur lady is; she is either on the increase or on the de- 
crease. At one time she loves her husband devotedly, and at 
another time, perhaps in five or ten minutes, she takes him by the 
hair. But she does not mean any harm by it, because such actions 
are simply Sulphur characteristics,, nothing else than passing ex- 
plosions;, a little steam going up, that is all. She is something 
like the fireworks on the fourth of July. Fireworks make consid- 
erable of noise, but there is no harm in them. So also in regard 
to the Sulphur lady. There is considerable mental fireworks, or 
considerable of powder, but no battle. She means no harm; she is 
harmless. 

She is also very proud, and easily hurt. If anyone is an actress 
she is, If you are married to a Sulphur lady, you do not need 
to go to the theatre; you can have a theatre right in your home. 
She is just as true as she can be, and just as well-meaning as she 
can be* This holds good also in regard to the Exesthesic man. He 
has that kind of changing and varying characteristics.. At one 
time he thinks his girl is the finest woman in the world, and may- 
be in two hours he does not want her, or, at least, he wants her 
to stay away; maybe to-morrow he is just as deeply interested in 
her again. A Sulphur man loves by turns. This does not only 
hold good in regard to characteristics, but it holds good in re- 
gard to diseases, also. 

The diseases of the Sulphur lady are just as varying as her charac- 
teristics. The diseases in the Sulphur lady are constantly chang- 
ing, newer and newer symptoms come up. She has all of those " 
symptoms, varying symptoms in a short time, and the physician who 
attends to her cannot understand what is the matter, or what kind 



of sickness she suffers from. 

In the Calciferic man the diseases are very pronounced - , and very 
chronic, which means very distinct .; but diseases in the Sulphur lady 
hide just the same as Sulphur hides. Sulphur is an element that 
hides itself, it hides its symptoms, its peculiarities; so that the 
physician who attends the Sulphur lady does not know what she suf- 
fers from. It seems that she suffers from something different to- 
day than she did yesterday, and hence, also, when a medical man has 
charge of a. Sulphur patient, he changes the medicine as the diseases 
change, and he becomes, also, a Sulphur doctor. Because, all the 
symptoms she suffers from to-day differ from the symptoms of yester- 
day/ and call for a different kind cf medicine; to-morrow the symp- 
toms differ again and call for still another kind of remedy, and in 
two or three days something else, and in that. way he is seemingly 
made a. fool of, and his science amounts to nothing, but simply be- 
Cc.use he does not understand human types. If he were acquainted 
with human types, he would know when he was dealing with a Sulphur 
lady, or with a. Sulphur patient 9 . and he would not pay attention to 
that kind of symptoms. These are Sulphur symptoms, peculiarities* 
or Sulphur at work in the system. 

You know Sulphur is an element that is sleepy and sluggish in the 
morning, and Sulphur ladies are also sleepy and sluggish in the morn- 
ing. They do not like to wake up. They sleep best in the morning, 
but in the evening they are active and wide-awake. The real day 
of the Sulphur lady commences about eleven o'clock. And if she eats 
breakfast at eight o'clock, she may be sick, or be bothered with 
her stomach, liver, pancreas, or bile, or some function in the body 
during the day, more or less. 

In the morning, the Sulphur lady is usually hard to please. By noon 
she feels good-natured. It is difficult for her to love her hus- 
band in the morning, but she can love him in the evening. It is . 
not she; it is the Sulphur. She is sick but she cannot help her- 
self, because she is under the influence of Sulphur; there is some- 
thing unexplainable that is holding her, and she does not know what 
it is. 

Sulphur is fitful, volcanic; that is what the Sulphur lady is also. 
She does things by fits and starts; she is a lady of variation. 
She certainly is interesting. She is deep, fastidious, sometimes 
volcanic. The husband who understands the nature of Sulphur, knows 
she is under the influence of Sulphur and pays no attention- It is 
a theatre to him, and she is the actress. You see, when we under- 
stand human nature, we make allowances; we say to ourselves, this is 
why that man acts this way, and that woman acts as she acts; they do 
that because they are under the influence of Sulphur. 

K great many Sulphur patients have a counting mania. When they suf- 
fer from nervous trouble, they may lie in bed and count every flower 
on the wall— paper. Sulphur inflames the faculty of Calculation, 
and they are compelled to count, and count, and count, and keep 
counting. They are only fair in mathematics; it is just a sort of 
counting mania. K great many of them„ when they become nervous 
through the excess of Sulphur, have spells of ill humor, but they do 
not mean any harm. Say nothing to the Sulphur wife; simply let her

go on and act until she is through, and soon she acts differently. 
She will come and throw her arms around" you and kiss you, and say 
that you are the finest husband" in the world, and then she cries", 
and wants to make love. She is peculiar in the sense that in 
times of peace she makes war, and when war comes, she is ready to 
make peace « When everything is peaceful and joyful, she. wants 
trouble; and when war commences, when' the husband gets angry and 
feels like fighting, she becomes cured and implores for forgiveness 
That is Sulphur, it is not she, it is Sulphur* 

C.f) She usually always has dry hair that crumbles, and draws itself 
together like elastic. You can pull it out like a. rubber- band, 
and when you let go it curls; it does not break because it is very 
strong,. She usually always has an excellent growth of hair between 
the ages of about 14 to about 32, and after 32 her hair begins to 
fall*

-eat pickles.

We cannot prescribe alike for all people, because one man needs 
something that another man does not need. It is just the same in 
regard to work. For instance, hard, sedentary work will weaken a 
Myogenic man and make him more sick, but it will help the 



v-zm 

Calciferic man. The Calciferic man is a calf all his life, in the 
sense that he can handle milk, but the Myogenic man cannot drink 
and digest milk. A milk diet cures the Calciferic man, and' makes 
the Myogenic man sick. If you are a doctor and you get hold of two 
patient^,one being Myogenic, and the other Calciferic, the. one you 
may cure, and the other you may kill on a milk diet. Milk is a bad 
food for the Myogenic man, but it is curative to the Calciferic. 

SYMPTOMS WHEN SULPHUR IS DEFICIENT: The Sulphur patient gets so 
very hungry she must eat. She feels as though something is going 
to happen, she trembles, and rushes to the table, and eats quickly, 
then she feels better, only to feel worse in about an hour or two. 
That is a Sulphur symptom. Sulphur is in a rush. IT you are in 
love with a Sulphur lady, she will rush you to the altar, because 
she cannot wait. 

Sulphur cannot wait. There is a vein of impatience in a person of 
a Sulphur type. There is also more or less tension. Tension in 
the eyes and eyeballs, tension in the neck, drawing tension in the 
neck, drawing tension in the spleen, drawing tension in the stomach. 
The stomach may feel like lead. There may be drawing tension in 
the throat, so they cannot talk. They may feel as though there is 
something in the throat, a ball, which the doctor calls Globus Hys- 
tericus, This ball is nothing but tension in the throat. .. They 
may suffer from tension in the sexual system, tension in the uterus. 
Fibroids may form in that organization, necessitating operations. 
Then, the Sulphur lady is hauled over to some hospital and an opera- 
tion is performed for tumors. Then they send her home and say that 
she is cured. If there is a piece left of the organ, tumors form 
again. The Sulphur lady is under the influence of tension all of 
the time. Tansion in the brain, tension in the emotions r tension 
in the passions, tension everywhere. 

This is why a naprapath is a better doctor for the Sulphur patient, 
because the manipulations are soothing. Give her the kind of food 
and treatments that overcome that tension, and drives the Sulphur 
products out of her system.. Diet will do more than treatments and 
drugs combined. 

• 
She needs air in abundance. She likes to sleep at an open window,-' 
where it is fresh, cool and breezy. Whenever there is too much 
Sulphur in the system, there is a. closing of the capillaries every- 
where at the surface of the skin. Cold air to the nude body re— ■ 
suits in evaporation of Sulphur gas, and this gives relief. This 
is also why a Sulphur patient likes a cold bath in the morning. 
She feels refreshed. She likes to go to the hills, or to stand at 
the seashore and see the stormy sea at work. It makes her feel ro- 
mantic. So soon as the Sulphur lady sits still, there is always 
tension at work, flatus developes; gas in the stomach r and in the 
intestines, in the blood and brain, or in all combined. It is gas 
and Sulphur products which are at the foundation of all that tension. 

Sulphur is peculiar in the sense that it works upon the nerves, upon 
capillaries, upon the skin, upon the liver, the spleen, and upon the' 
portal system. The liver and the skin hold Sulphur. I do not 
know that the red corpuscles retain Sulphur, but the spleen, pan- 
creas, skin and many secretions retain Sulphur.

Anoxyemia means that there is not enough of oxidation in the blood; 
hypoalonemia. means that not enough of the salts are supplied to the 
blood; so the Sulphur patient has Anoxyemia, and Hypoalonemia al- 
so; or, in other words, there is insuf f icient ' oxidat ion in the 
blood, and in the salts in the blood. Hence, the Sulphur lady 
suffers from such ailments, 

(b) The transmission of nerve impulse from the brain is fitful, 
nerve pressure is increased, which affects the blood vessels.. So 
soon as there is greater nerve pressure in the brain, all the 
blood vessels throughout the entire body are affected, and so soon 
as the nerve impulse transmitted by the nerves and by the brain 
are fitful, there is an unequal function throughout the entire bo- 
dy. It affects all the functions, i.e., digestion is poorer at 
one time than at another time; at one time the heart is more vigor- 
ous than at another time; at one time the spleen is on a strike; 
at another time the arteries and veins are affected, or perhaps 
some other function in the body. Because of fitfulness in brain 
impulsion, or nerve impulsion, there is a fitfulness in physical 
functions of the body, and that gives rise to all such peculiar 
symptoms. It affects the blood vessels; it produces high nerve 
pressure. High intra-cranial pressure expands all the blood ves- 
sels. When there is high nerve pressure, there is also high 
blood pressure. Therefore, also, if you go to a specialist and 
get the blood pressure taken, it may, or it may not, mean anything. 
It may be caused by high nerve pressure, or high brain pressure* 
or by lack of certain blood salts, or it may be caused by an excess 
of certain blood salts. When the blood salts are excessive, the 
blood function becomeserratic , the specific gravity of the blood 
is changed. 

Blood tests made, may, or may not amount to anything. It depends 
upon the Constitution of the one who suffers from high blood pres- 
sure. Very severe work, excitement, anger, jumping, running, or 
dancing, increases the blood pressure, especially when greatly ex- 
hausted » If you drink ice-cold water, the blood pressure is rais- 
ed. . if there is expansion of the brain cells in the brain, the 
blood vessels in the body enlarge,, resulting in higher blood pres- 
sure in every artery and vein. If you go to a doctor and he 
tells you that you have high blood pressure, what does it mean? He 
can tell you that there is high blood pressure and that is all. 
There are many causes of high blood pressure, or for low blood 
pressure. 

Sulphur changes in color almost all the time. If you look at Sul- 
phur to-day y you find that it has a certain color; if you look at 
it to-morrow it may have changed in color. So do Exesthesic or 
Sulphur people. The complexion is changing all of the time, 
'Their complexion cannot be improved. 

Some people say that there is a heart in the solar plexus, and 
some people say there is also a second brain. The epigastric 
plexus, is sensitive to all sorts of temperatural changes, and to 



F-I48 

varying states of the mind. It is only in certain people that the 
epigastric plexus is sensitive, and the Sulphur lady, or the Exes- 
thesic lady, is the one who is thus sensitive. If she is shaken or 
frightened, or if anything happens tc her, she does not throw her 
hand to her heart, but to the solar plexus, because the epigastric 
plexus is more sensitive under the influence of high Sulphur consump- 
tion. 

(d) The vocal organs are in a state of dryness in Exesthesic people* 
A lady who is a lecturer, of an Exesthesic type, needs a. glass of wa- 
ter on the table to sip from, because her throat becomes- dry. This 
is a constant tendency in the Exesthesic lady. She cannot talk reg- 
ularly j nor persistently, without feeling the effects of the speech 
or conversation, or arugment , in the throat. The homeopathic doc- 
tor, who deals in potencies, tells us that Pulsatilla and chamomilla 
patients are exceedingly sensitive, that they cry easily. He tells 
us that ailments like those which we have been going over, require 
that kind of drugs. He claims that such drugs cure that kind of pa- 
tients. Such patients have that kind of characteristics, namely, 
what we call Sulphur characteristics. 

About four years ago I had a doctor in the class who was a very able 
homeopath.. I sent him twelve Sulphur patients, and told him to try 
his homeopathic remedies on them. The^ result was, they were not 
cured, I concluded that nothing but air and the right diet will, 
cure the Exesthesic lady who suffers from sickness. I have tested' 
it out, and have to-day nine patients in California, in the hills, 
who are getting the right kind of diet and are all being cured* 
When we understand types of patients, the peculiarities, the chemi- 
cal action, chemical metabolism, and the laws that govern patients 
in regard to diet and everything else, we have a science that will 
help doctors and nurses. 

The nervous system, the sensory nerves, the portal system, the liver, 
colon, spleen, and the Virilia, are usually always the seat of 
trouble in Exesthesic people, and the real cause is excessive Sul- 
phur consumption. 

Cg) Remember that you should give a Sulphur lady raw Sulphur food 
and air in abundance, a high altitude, pleasing, soothing treatments, 
2nd foods that are rich in Sodium, Iron, Magnesium, also Manganese; 
and do not forget ozone, because ozone has a wonderful affect upon 
the red corpuscles of the blood. When there is too much Sulphur in 
the system, and when gases affect the red corpuscles of the blood, 
oz-one drives out such gases, thus increasing oxidation, so that the 
patient may recuperate. 

HQW_TO_ REDUCE SULPHUR, IN THE BODY: We have four different methods 
of reducing Sulphur in the body, and while we give this advice* we 
know: how very difficult it is to carry it out. For instance, when 
a man is high tempered, and we tell him to control his temper; that 
may seem very good advice, but to him it is not. Perhaps he is 
trying every day to control his temper. This is also the case in 
regard to reducing Sulphur in the system. We say here, omit foods 
rich in Sulphur. It is very good advice, but the man cannot do it. 
We may tell a man to go to the moon and get well, but he cannot go 
to the moon, therefore he cannot get well* That kind of advice is

INSTITUTE OF HUMAN ..NATURE STUDIES, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS' 

LECTURE .NOTES. COURSE- FOODS & CHEMICALS. SUBJECT-SULPHUR. 

not very good. We must tell the man, or woman, or child', how to 
get well. If a man is a criminal, we must not only tell him what 
to do in order to avoid being put into Jail, but we must place him 
in favorable surroundings: where it is easier for him to be good. 
This is also true in regard to reducing of Sulphur in the body. 

The main thing is to omit foods rich in Sulphur, and another thing 
to do is, to eat 8-11 such foods that are rich in Magnesium, Sodium, 
and Iron. These are the important food salts that we should in- 
troduce. The next best thing to do is to send' the patient to a 
high altitude, where it is about 2, COO up to 5,000 or 6 y ,000 feet 
above the sea. level, where there is plenty of ozone in the atmos- 
phere. If you do this, there will be no temper to control, there 
will be no passion to avoid, no fretting, no nervousness, nor irri- 
tability, because everything will be adjusted so soon as the man, 
or the woman, is placed in the proper altitude and given the right 
kind of food. 

HOW T O INC REASE SULPHUR IN THE BODY: Sulphur is increased by eat- 
ing Sulphur food. You cannot eat cooked Sulphur foods, (except 
carrots and sauer-kraut ) , without a disturbance of some kind. If 
a certain percent of acid is present in a food, malic acid, tartar- 
ic acid, salicylic, or acetic acid, or some other kind of acid, 
and perhaps- eight to twelve percent of common salt, (Sodium and 
Chlorin), you may cook Sulphur food, eat it, and perhaps feel good. 

If you eat Sulphur-containing food when there is gas generation in 
the stomach, or intestines, you will be worse to-morrow; if you 
eat German sauer-kraut, properly prepared and cooked, you can di- 
gest it, and get Sulphur normally, without generating gas. Boil- 
ed Sulphur food cannot be utilized by your body,, because that food 
does not contain enough Chlorin and Sodium. If you eat Cauli- 
flower, for instance, salt it well, then you will not suffer from 
gas, because those salts, viz., Chlorin and Sodium, will prevent 
Sulphur food from being converted into gas in the stomach. Try it 
some time when you are bloated .. Take a teaspoonful of salt in 
cold, distilled water, and notice how the gas will pass down, and 
flatus will disappear. 

When there is a. great deal of Sulphur gas, in the intestines, it is 
impossible to sleep. You wake up at midnight, and your brain is 
so active that it works like a factory, and you cannot stop it. 
You think, think,, think r and in the morning at about five o* clock 
you become sleepy. Then you fall into a restless sleep, and if 
you wake up at seven o'clock you may feel angry ► You are not 
yourself. To-morrow, perhaps, you will suffer from headache. If 
you suffer from sleeplessness because of Sulphur gas in the intes- 
tines, take a teaspoonful of salt in a. class of water. 

There are so many fa.cts in regard to diet, and metabolism, of the 
greatest importance, that every physician and nurse should know, 
or everyone who has anything to do with human beings. Cooked 
Sulphur food generates gas when there is a deficiency of Chlorin 



In the system* If we want to increase Sulphur in the body, we 
should eat foods that are rich in raw Sulphur, 

Tn a climate which is warm and stuffy, we are always able to retain 
more Sulphur, People who live in a warm, rather stuffy climate,, 
always are more prolific; because the Sulphur element is more util- 
ised in a warm, stuffy climate; hence, people multiply very rapidly 
in a, warm climate. In a. cold' climate the race may die out. 

There are some people who cannot multiply, whether in a cold climate 
or in a warm climate* Some people cannot multiply in a cold cli- 
mate, but in a warm climate they can. Some people need climate, 
diet, and tonics to stimulate them, else they cannot give rise to 
offspring in any climate. . 

To increase sexual capacity, eat Sulphur foods. Another element 
that is very important is Phosphorus. The Almighty has arranged 
everything so that Sulphur and Phosphorus must work with Oxygen, 
Carbon, Nitrogen and Hydrogen, in order to produce results, V/ith- 
out Sulphur in the egg yolk, no chick is. born. Without Sulphur in 
the ovum., or in the spermatosoa, no babe is born. T.o increase gen- 
erative power, eat foods rich in Sulphur and Phosphorus, and live, in 
a warm climate , 

To increase Sulphur in the system, live in the emotional brain,, and 
strongly in the. feeling. When you get lazy, indolent, sleepy, 
then you increase Sulphur in the system., 

PEOPLE WHO REQUIRE SULPHUR FOODS: When we want to stimulate a man, 
tone him up, bring out his efficiency, make him think more and use 
his brain capacities and emotions to a greater extent, we should 
give him raw Sulphur food, Phosphorous food, and Iron food. 

INFLUENCE OF AN, EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SULPHUR FOODS ON: - Health - 
It is unfavorable to health, simply because cf gas generation, b The 
gas that passes into the red corpuscles of the blood prevents the 
Iron, or the hematin, from taking up Oxygen* A man who has Sul- 
phur gas in his system, is not able to take up a normal amount of 
Oxygen. Give an Atrophic man an excessive Sulphur diet, and he 
will die of consumption, because he cannot utilize Oxygen. 

Disposition - An excessive amount of Sulphur food makes every feel- 
ing, every emotion, every passion, love feeling, or states of mind, 
spasmodic* • Such a person does everything by jerks* In the morn- 
ing he wakes up happy, then in a few minutes he is unhappy; now he 
is moody and ugly, then he is genial and kind. Sulphur is an ele- 
ment of variation. 

A spasmodic disposition is a disposition that comes and goes by 
spells, that does things by jerks, A man who has too much Sul- 
phur in the system, pulls down the blind by jerks. He takes a 
glass of water so suddenly that he spills the contents. He is 
jerky in brain also. Such a lady may be good, well-meaning, 
beautiful, have a great many virtues, yet she spoils most of her 
virtues' by her erratic disposition* 

What is disposition, and where do we get our disposition?. We. talk

or heredity, and say that disposition is hereditary. We are, per^ 
haps, right — But why is it hereditary? Is it not because in the 
child certain chemical elements become more active than certain 
other chemical elements? Is it not because some chemical ele- 
ments become so active that they affect the mind, producing moods, 
tendencies, habits, and permanent states of mind, or, what we call 
disposition? ■ When a man is spasmodic in everything* we say be 
has a spasmodic disposition; another man is pessimistic in every- 
thing he does and says, and we say he has a pessimistic disposi- 
tion, An Oxypheric man haas an optimistic disposition* A' Me&'eic 
man is always pessimistic. He Las the pessimistic faculties in 
the lead, and a hereditary taint in the "blood. If a man has sen 
optimistic disposition, his faculties become optimistic also* On 
the other hand, if a man's disposition is pessimistic, he always 
develops pessimistic faculties. If he becomes a preacher, he 
tells us that we are all going to hell. If the optimistic man 
becomes a preacher, he tells all of us that we are going to heaven, 
that all roads lead to heaven; that the Presbyterian goes to 
heaven his way, that the Methodist goes to heaven his way. The 
pessimist has an angry God and a. hot hell. 

This is nothing else than chemical elements acting upon brain. and 
function. And how very, very important it is for all who have 
anything to do with, character,, improvement,, development,; to study 
those laws and principles that lead to health and development. 

INFLUENCE __0F A DEFIC IEN T AMOUNT OF SULPHUR FOO DS ON : - Disposi- 
tion — It leads to sterility, weakness in brain, nerve and func- 
tion. If there is not enough of it in the body, it leads to 
sickness. We should have so much and no more. If you and I 
have a normal amount of Sulphur in our system, we are healthy, 
but that which is normal for you may not be normal for me, and it 
may not be normal for others. There is where it is a question of 
types of people » One type of patient needs more Sulphur than 
another. 

If there is a deficient amount of Sulphur in the system, the dis- 
position becomes temperamental, or the man becomes emotional, er- 
ratic, spasmodic, moody, and does not know just what he wants* 
Feed the Exesthesic lady rightly and she is an angel, at times; 
feed the Nervi-Motive woman right ly } and she is also good. Feed 
anyone rightly and we have an improved person* Feed each man 
rightly and he is more likely to go upwardly towards heaven; cut 
feed him wrongly, and he is likely to go the other way, 

g™™ "Lg-I^-^OQgS THAT PEOPLE WITH EXCESS SULPHUR SHOULD : - Eat - 
He should expose the" body to air and wind as often as possible* 
The Sulphur- lady should live in the hills,, and have a little tent 
on top of the building where she can expose her body to the air. 
wind and sun, every day. Gas-producing foods are sugars, starch- 
es, fats, and all sorts of cooked Sulphur foods. I may say, in 
addition' that there are some drinks that are gas-producing, such 
as tea, coffee, postum, chocolate. 



V-152 

VOCATIONS FOR WHICH SULPHUR PEOPLE ARE BEST ADAPT ER : Su 1 pfcur peo- 
ple are more adapted for certain vocations than for others- Their 
talent runs towards decoration. 

PRINCIPAL SULPHUR FOODS : 

HORSERxIDISH - is one of the highest Sulphur-containing foods, 

CARROTS - Remember that carrots is a food that can be boiled without 
becoming gas-producing. You can obtain Sulphur for your brain, and 
generative substance from carrots without adding salt to them, You 
can eat them raw, or boiled, because they are rich in salts. 

SPINACH - You can cook spinach and get Sulphur- food without detri- 
mental gas-producing results, and thus obtain Sulphur for brain, 
nerves and function. But you cannot do that with other foods. 

FIGS" - Never eat sulphured figs; eat sun-dried figs, Sulphured 
figs have a bad affect upon the kidneys, and will always generate 
gas. Never eat Sulphured fruits of any kind. It pays to pay at- 
tention to how fruits are sun-dried. Always wash any food first 
that has been sun-dried, because it may contain germs, creepers, dust, 
disease . 

COCOA NUT - is difficult of digestion for some 'people, but excellent 
food for the brain. For some reason, which I do not know, cocoanut 
builds up the chest. It increases the mammary glands enormously. 
You do not need to pay out any money for bust developers, because you 
can develop your chests with cocoanut, breathing exercises and cold 
douches to the chest. Some foods have a greater affect upon some 
parts of the body than others. Cocoanut builds up the chest, and 
will also sustain the fatty substance in the lungs. 

For instance, horseradish has a stimulating affect upon the vital or- 
gans, upon skin function, but a bad affect upon t-he nerve ends in 
the stomach. If you eat. horseradish for two, three, years, you will 
lastly suffer from incurable indigestion, and no doctor can cure you. 
Horseradish will ruin the digestive function. 

APPLES - are rich in Sulphur and Phosphorus, but they are- rich also 
in malic acid. Malic acid has a detrimental affect upon the stomach 
and liver, especially upon the liver, T/e have been told that apples- 
are excellent for health. We have heard that a man who eats twelve 
apples per day keeps the doctor away. Let us change that saying to 
the following: - n A man who eats twelve apples a day,, will soon go 
to the hospital." Apples are so full of malic acid that this acid 
will ruin the liver and the stomach. Of course, I know some apples 
are favorable, as, for instance, the Delicious, the Astrachan, and 
others that are not saturated with malic acid. 

CUCUMBERS - are good when you suffer from congestion, blood fever,

MAGNESIUM enables the eliminative functions to carry on their work. 
There are three other elements also that enable the eliminative 
functions to carry on their work, viz., Sodium, Chlorin and Potas- 
sium*, If any one of these elements is lacking, there will be 
trouble with the bowels, liver, spleen, pancreas,, portal system, 
blood, or with some of the eliminative organs, or functions.. 

If Sodium is lacking there will be a special kind of constipation. 
If Potassium is lacking a certain kind of constipation will devel- 
op. If Chlorin is lacking there will be trouble with the stomach. 
The system will not be able to take care of the albumin* When 
Chlorin is lacking, foods rich in albumin are likely to decay and 
form toxins. Any albumin not utilized will stay in the body, de- 
cay and produce poisons . If Magnesium is lacking, constipation 
developes because Magnesium is one of those elements that regu- 
lates, and keeps the bowels alkaline and prevents gas from forming 
in the alimentary tract. If gas is generated, the stomach and 
the entire alimentary tract will become acid. Perhaps, that acid 
will reach the nerves and neuritis develops, or terrible headache, 
because albumin toxins pass Into the brain and produce pressure 
upon the brain. Gas may very likely form in the alimentary tract 
and produce pressure upon the heart, or upon the spinal centers, 
liver, spleen, stomach, arteries, or veins; causing general dis- 
turbance of the function everywhere. 

Sodium, Potassium, Chlorin and Magnesium are very important and 
should not be removed from foods in process of manufacture. If 
these elements are supplied at all times, we will not be sick. 
We ought to know what chemicals there are in every kind of food. 
We ought to know what is lacking in bread, milk, or, in fact, in 
anything that we eat. We should know, absolutely, what all those 
foods contain. 

MgNESIUMj ITS NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS: All foods that con- 
tain Magnesium are alkaline. ' All foods that contain Citric acid 
usually also contain Magnesium. Those foods that contain Magne- 
sium and Citric acid are highly antacid. They take up the acid 
in the system and convert it into a neutral salt. If you eat 
butter, cream, sugar, coffee, or doughnuts, when the stomach is 
acid, they will be converted into more acid. 

When the stomach is acid some foods will be converted into gas, 
causing disturbances of some kind. Some of those gases will pass 
up into the brain and may produce paralytic ailments. It may act 
upon the cerebellum so that it cannot perform its function. If 
that gas is pressing upon the walls of the stomach, the stomach 
cannot digest food. It is impossible for the stomach to digest 
food so long as there is gas in the stomach. 

The stomach has a certain movement, called peristalsis. Consid- 
erable of gass in the stomach presses, so that the stomach cannot 
move, cannot digest food, cannot perform its peristalsis movement, 
cannot pour its gastric .juice over the foods. The food is left 



r-154 

undigested. You feel a burning in the stomach, at such a time; or, 
perhaps, you feel as if you had a stone in your stomach. you feel 
uneasy, uncomfortable, or bleated, You feel as if there is nothing 
to live for. wrong easting has, perhaps, made more divorces than 
all other causes combined'. The cooks are cooking people into the 
hospital, saloon, asylum, and into hell. If a man is mean, if he 
is irritable, beats his wife, drinks whiskey, stays out at night, 
or carries on in an ungodly manner all of the time, he has been eat- 
ing wrong foods improperly prepared. If every wife would cook 
rightly she could have all the love she wants. When a man does not 
get the right kind of food, he is simply irritable. 

A mother came to me in regard to her baby who suffered from crying 
spells. The stomach was as hard as a brick. 1 asked what the 
mother had been eating. She said she had been eating good food as 
she was very particular about food. I asked again just what she 
had been eating. She said, a 0&, this morning I had my usual break- 
fast; a few pancakes, a cup of coffee with cream and sugar*. Then I 
drank a glass of orange juice and ate a piece of cake." "Well"', I 
said, u your baby suffers because you have been eating wrongly. Re- 
member this; your milk must be alkaline, otherwise the baby will be 
sick, and doctors will not be able to do any good for your baby« n 

The milk of tjie mother must be alkaline at all times. The mother 
should not eat the juices of orangess, lemons, limes, nor anything 
acid. She must never get angry, nor tired, for so sure as a mother 
gets tired, that sure her milk will become acid, So soon as a 
mother gets angry or nervous, the milk is affected. Another thing, 
the babe is using up the salts during gestation. The babe is draw^ 
ing upon all of those salts from her, taking such salts out of her 
blood as Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Silicon, and Chlorin. Those are the 
salts that the mother must absolutely supply to the babe all the 
time. 7/nen the mother is through with gestation and lactation, she 
is about the same as an empty shell, because those salts have been 
taken away from her blood and tissues. Therefore, she is likely to 
become acid. And do you think that such a mother does not need 
something else than dope, serum, operations, and chiropractic? 

It is very difficult for the mother to have alkaline milk if those 
salts are lacking in her system; hence, she should eat foods rich, in 
such alkaline salts so her milk will be alkaline. The baby cannot 
take care of the milk, if it is not alkaline. 

Oranges contain citric acid. Magnesium converts acid in the stomach 
to neutral salts, resulting in alkalinity. But the mother who eats 
oranges at a. time like that, will find that it affects her milk. 
The orange juice goes into the milk. Very quickly, it passes into 
the milk and does not pass into the stomach. Oranges that contain 
seeds may be beneficial to a. lady if she has no baby, if her stomach 
is acid. But at the time she has a baby, she must not eat oranges, 
because they affect the milk.. 

If there is too much sugar in mother's milk, it curdles and becomes 
subject to fermentation. The sugar will lay in the stomach and pro- 
duce fermentation. If the mother eats too much sugar, her baby will; 
surely suffer from stomach trouble.

(d) When Magnesium combines with Oxygen, it becomes Magnesia, or 
Magnesium Oxide. Alba means - white, Magnesium Alba is nothing 
but white clay. White clay is used very considerably in medicine. 
If you use Magnesia A'lba. very excessively in a patient whose sys- 
tem is not very acid, or whose stomach is not acid, you will cre- 
ate sickness in that patient. When Magnesia Alba, is introduced 
into a stomach that is net highly acid, it forms a coating on the 
entire alimentary tract, Soon that will interfere with digestion. 
Ail this unorganized clay will form a coating on the alimentary 
tract which will interfere with digestion. Magnesia Alba, re- 
quires a very high acid medium to act upon. Citrate of Magnesia 
is a. citric white clay preparations Be careful how you drink it. 

There are many things given to children that should not be given 
them. It is very well to give a person Magnesium when the 
stomach is very acid. If you suffer from a sour burning stomach 
and alimentary tract, you are in an acid condition, and at such 
time, Citrate of Magnesia is beneficial. If there is not any 
acid in the stomach or in the alimentary tract anywhere, and you 
drink Citrate of Magnesia just because you suffer from constipa- 
tion, it will coat the alimentary tract. If you keep drinking it, 
it will do you that much more harm. Your intestines will lastly 
be like frozen hose. They cannot act. It does not make any dif- 
ference what drastic drugs you take. 

Potassium is excessively bitter, but Magnesium is tart* All 
sorts of foods that contain Magnesium are tart. Almond nuts have 
a. certain pungent taste. That is a Magnesium taste. Endive has 
a pungent principle. That is Magnesium, Citrate of Magnesia, 
Endive, Almond Nuts, have a tart or pungent taste, and that taste 
is Magnesium. All foods rich in Magnesium have that tart, or 
pungent taste. If you supply Magnesium foods in abundance, the 
bowel contents will look almost like clay. Sometimes children 
will eat clay. That means that they lack Magnesium. 



FUNCTIONS OF MAGNESIUM IN THE HUMAN ORGANIZATION : (a) Miner a .1 
waters that, contain Magnesium and Sulphur are laxative if you take 
them in great quantities. If those waters are taken at a time 
when the stomach is excessively acid, they will be beneficial. 
But if the stomach is not acid, they will do harm. It is better 
to eat foods containing Magnesium and Sulphur than to drink miner- 
al water, Why drink mineral waters to cure constipation when we 
can get foods that contain Sulphur and Magnesium, especially such 
mineral waters that contain other minerals that are harmful? 



We should always remember that man is organic, 
and drink should be organic. 



Everything we eat 



(c) If there is a lack of Magnesium in the system, there is. a cer- 
tain stiffness in the various tissues and tendons,. Here you can 
see that Magnesium is lacking. Isogenic patients are often stiff. 
There is a lack of Magnesium when the Isogenic patient suffers from 
constipation, or when his tissues are stiff; or when he suffers 



F-156 

from gout. Then there is a. lack of those important salts, Sodium 
and Magnesium, Some people take up more Magnesium than others. All 
those people who are elastic, quick, active in body and mind, have 
more Magnesium in their tissues. Sometimes the tissues are robbed 
of their salts. The tissues will rob the secretions, and the blood 
of Magnesium. In the Desmogenic man, the tissues are constantly 
taking Magnesium out of the secretions and the blood', thus robbing 
the blood and the tissues-. The Desmogenic is very likely to suffer 
from costive habits, notwithstanding the fact that there is a great 
deal of Magnesium in the tissues, simply because the tissues, them- 
selves, are robbing the blood and robbing the secretions. 

(e) Phosphorus consumption is great in the Neurogenic. The Phosphor- 
ous products that are liberated during brain and nerve processes, call 
for Magnesium foods in abundance, in the Neurogenic man. 

The Phosphatic element is one of the most important elements there is. 
A chemist once told us that there was enough poison in his brain to 
kill two million people. You see it is Phosphorus in the brain, 
nerves, and in the system that is being burned up, and thrown upon 
the liver, to take away from the body. Magnesium helps eliminate 
and neutralize all poisons from the system.. 

When there is sleeplessness, there is a lack of Magnesium; there is 
excess of Phosphoric products. To overcome sleeplessness, take 
foods, drinks, and tonics rich in Magnesium. 

All people who are excitable, high tempered, or erratic, suffer from 
neurotic habits, high nerve tension, or from psychotic habits. They 
should be given foods rich in Magnesium. We have Osteopathic doc- 
tors who talk about tension in the nerves, muscles, and flexors, and 
they remove that tension by means of certain treatments, but they 
omit Magnesium foods. Magnesium foods added to osteopathic treat- 
ments, ■ accomplish more. Magnesium relieves tension in the nerves, 
muscles, brain centres, and flexors. Intense talking burns up Phos- 
phorus. When through talking eat foods rich in Phosphorus and Mag- 
nesium. We do not know the value of eating. Magnesium foods af- 
fect the liver and el iminative organs, and remove such Phosphorous 
products that have been liberated during intense cerebration. 

If you lack Magnesium you suffer from headache, which is more severe 
because all such ailments are more intense when there is a lack of 
Magnesium. When there is plenty of Magnesium in the system, even 
though Phosphorus is at work, you can be reposeful. 

A function of Magnesium is to keep the brain, nerves, flexors, motor 
nerves, spdnal nerves, and functions throughout the system, cool; to 
cool a man down. When angry, take foods and drinks rich in Magne- 
sium, and the temper will soon subside. Passion cools under the in- 
fluence of Magnesium. One function of Magnesium is to regulate the 
nerves. 

Magnesium aids in the construction of white fibres in the nerves r 
muscles, and brain. If there is a lack of Magnesium in the system, 
the fibres cannot function. Magnesium acts upon the albumin. All 
those various white fibres are manufactured out of Chlorin and Albu- 
min, but Magnesium must be there to act, otherwise they will not be 
constructed. J

Many patients have been eating starch and sugar until they are

ity out of the system. Magnesium is an anti-acid; i.e., it works 
acid. When acid is in the stomach, Magnesium works on that 
and converts it into neutral salts. That is the function 
of Magnesium. Those acids become neutralized. If Magnesium 
has no acid to work on, it causes trouble.

(1) Chlorin is hard on germs. Salty water makes the germs feel 
very uncomfortable. Chlorin will kill certain germs. Magnesium 
may not kill them, but it will wash them out. The germs hide 
themselves in the coating of the stomach and intestines. If they 
remain in the coating they are not washed out. They hide them- 
selves in the coating of the stomach while Magnesium is passing 
through. They seem to know how to protect themselves* Then 
when the good food comes along, they come out and feed. But if 
we take foods rich in Chlorin, Magnesium, and Sodium, those germs

SYMPTOMS WHEN MAGNE SIUM , IS EXCESSIVE : If you live upon Magnesium 
food at a time when you'- do not need it, the brain and body become 
sluggish, When fatigued, disappointed in love, excessively pas- 
sionate, eat Magnesium foods in abundance for several days and 
you will feel very much better. 

The more a person takes everything to heart, the less Magnesium 
is in the system, because if Magnesium were in the system, a 



F-158 

person would not grieve. You can overlook disagreeable things if 
you eat foods rich in Magnesium. Magnesium cleans and regulates 
the bowels. It enables the brain to accomplish what it should ac- 
complish. It prevents tumors from growing. We have three elements 
to fall back upon in times of tumor, viz: Magnesium, Formic Acid,. 
and Fluor in. 

A great deal of heat is generated' in the human system* Iron, Chlorin 
and Sodium are sometimes broken down in the various organs, causing 
coagulation ■ of the blood. If there is a lack of Magnesium, the 
blood may centralize and form a tumor. In times of great brain ener- 
gy, we could prevent brain tumors from forming in the brain and save 
the patient from insanity, merely by a Formic Acid diet. Even if 
the tumors have already formed, they may be scattered by the action 
of the Formic Acid, Give people who suffer from insanity caused by 
tumors in the braina heavy Formic Acid diet and cold applications in 
abundance, also, an eliminative diet, 

When there is a great deal of heat centralization in any part of the 
body, there is a tendency to thrombosis. People suffering from 
Thrombosis, or blood-clotting, do not live long. If it forms in 
the brain, in some of the fibres, it leads to apoplexy and other ail- 
ments.. Every doctor, and every nurse, should fall back upon diet in 
connection with their other methods of doctoring* The Osteopath 
treats' by osteopathy. The medical doctor prescribes drugs and oper- 
ations., The Hydropath gives cold baths. The physical culturist 
gives exercise. Certain mental scientists say, "Tell yourself 
there is no sickness." People should use them all, and then add 
the proper diet. Diet will not do everything, but helps greatly. 

Put a. man upon a. meat diet, and nothing but meat for a. long time. It 
will develop tuberculosis in less than eighteen months, because there 
is no Calcium in meat. 

A heavy Magnesium diet and nothing else for four, five, or six months, 
will weaken the brain, and cause great stupidity, fear, dreadful 
dreams, and weaken the percept ives. 

The Magnesium excess patient cannot discriminate. He is unable to 
see the' difference in form, shape, outline, or distances.' Magne- 
sium patients always forget where they place things. 

(.32). His limbs are jerky and he has all sorts of jerky sensations or 
movements in his limbs at night. 

(36) When there is excess of that element, the white fibres of the 
brain, nerves and muscles are disturbed. They are like stiff clay. 
When there is a' lack of Magnesium, it has the opposite effect. 

SYMPTOMS WHEN MAGNESIUM IS DEFICIENT: A man gets so angry he has 
absolutely no control of himself when there is a lack of Magnesium. 
As soon as he gets in a rush he has headache. A red color sends 
pain into the eyes. 

They complain of clay-taste in mouth. Press very strongly upon a 
painful nerve, and the pain disappears. Healers apply pressure in 
this case, and think they have great power.

HOW, TO INCREASE MAGNESIUM IN TIKE BODY: I7e cannot increase Magne- 
sium in the body by taking Magnesium drugs. Magnesium drugs are 
never taken up by the blood or tissues. Magnesium foods are ta- 
ken up to a greater extent, if the patient lives in a cool climate. 

PEOPLE. WHO REQUIRE MAGNESIUM FOODS: People who have a. red com- 
plexion. People who use the sexual instinct too strongly; peo- 
ple who are too active, and generating too much heat in the brain; 
people who are too active in their passions, and burning up cer- 
tain salts and vital principles which are necessary for the body 
in a. great many waysj Hot-headed and excitable people; people 
who use the intellect too strongly; people who generate too much 
heat in the intellect; people who are intense; people who are sow- 
ing wild oa.ts - are all in need of Magnesium. Magnesium will 
have a. soothing and cooling effect. 

A manager of a business, of a railroad, an executive, other men 
who are using their brains excessively, are in great need of Mag- 
nesium, When the head burns; when there is heat in the nerves or 
liver - a. Magnesium diet is needed , 

Nitropheric people do not require a high Magnesium diet, because 
they hardly ever generate excess- bodily heat. The skin is cold. 
You would think they were cold-blooded. 

Magnesium has no Constitution; at least I have never found a Magne- 
sium Constitution, I think the Magnesium is simply there to act 
upon Phosphorous products coming from the brain. Magnesium is 
eliminative rather than constructive. 



INFLUENCE OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF MAGNESIUM FOODS: 



Construct- 



ive nutrition is disturbed when there is an excess of Magnesium, 
If there is a normal supply of Magnesium in the body, a, man is more 
even-minded. 



DISEASE TENDENCIES OF PEOPLE IN YliOM MAGNESIUM IS IN EX CESS: 
There are disturbances in the nerves, brain, sensory functions, mo- 
tor functions, heart functions, impulsive functions, and in the 
various functions of the body. The nerve fibres in the mucous 
membrane cannot transmit impulses, which results in disturbance of 
the function of the mucous membrane. Magnesium is important for 
digestion and for nutrition. If Magnesium is lacking in the body, 
the nerve and brain impulses cannot be transmitted properly, nor 
consecutively to the mucous membrane. The uterus and sexual 
functions are disturbed. 

Paranois is the inability of the white brain substances to transmit 
impulses; because Magnesium is acting in excess upon the white 
brain substances which become pulpy. Then the patient is weak- 
minded, so to speak. 

(4) People of an Oxypheric Constitution generate more heat than 
they need, If there is Magnesium in excess in a Constitution like 



F-160 

that, boils appear,. All at once you find adhesions. 

The Magnesium element has so much to do with Phosphorous 'metabolism 
that if Magnesium is not abundantly supplied to the body, all those 
Phosphorous poisons and products are not eliminated. If Magnesium 
is not supplied to eliminate those Phosphoric poisons, gas genera- 
tion results. Then many ailments peculiar to those elements devel- 
op, 

(5) A patient may become exceedingly fleshy in the central section 
of the body. This goes on for some time, then he may become ema- 
ciated, then weakening of the function occurs: Then he dies. Be 
careful when there is excessive obesity in the bowels. 

(6) The system cannot take up nutrition and the patient becomes ema- 
ciated. There is no better cure for obesity than rushing the food 
through the alimentary tract. Such a lady patient will lose in 
flesh every day. If she will fall back strongly upon Chlorin, or 
salty foods; she will also grow thin. You do not need anyone to 
reduce you, you can reduce yourself. Remember also your tempera- 
ment, because some people are so constituted that even if they do 
not eat much food, they grow stout just the same. 

(7) If Magnesium is lacking in the body cell action in the brain be- 
comes excessive. Suppose the brain cell fibres act only about once 
per month, - How much energy could you get out of such a man? But 
suppose the brain fibres vibrate a thousand times per minute, or 
more - there is. where we get intensity. That is what takes place 
in one of those Exesthesic ladies of excessively high tension- If 
anything goes against her, she goes, into hysterics. She is hard to 
live with. It is mostly the emotional faculties that are so active 
in Exesthesic people. It is great vibration in the various brain 
cells, nerves, liver, and elsewhere. When there is great activity 
in the brain, body, various functions of the brain and body; when 
the feelings are intense; when the brain is on fire, so to speak - 
Magnesium food is required. When these brain cells and functions 
are too hot we must cool them off with Magnesium food. When there 
is great vibration in the brain cells, we need Magnesium food to 
cool them off so the vibration is not so intense. Give these 
high— strung ladies a drink of juice of grapefruit. Soon they set- 
tle down easily, and are cooled off. Give a person who is using too 
much Phosphorus, some juice of grapefruit two or three times every 
day, and he cools down, and is able to sleep. If he goes home af- 
ter having delivered a lecture without such drinks, he may not be 
able to fall asleep. 

To cure sleeplessness, put hot applications on the stomach and cool 
applications on the forehead, and drink plenty of juice of grape- 
fruit, Cool him off and he will sleep. Every high-tempered man 
can cool himself with juice of grapefruit and other Magnesium foods, 
or fruits rich in Magnesium. It has a cooling effect upon the 
brain, impulses, and temper. Temper springs from Destructiveness, 
Combativeness, Amativeness, Cerebellum, Ideality and Approbativeness. 
One or all of these faculties have temper in them. 

Children who scream are using up Magnesium in the system.; when they 
scream so that you have to carry them all night, they lack Magnesium..

You should give the mother of that little crying child, foods rich 
in Magnesium. You should supply Magnesium in the nourishment of 
that baby- Another thing, you should keep that little fellow 
awake between five o'clock and ten o'clock at night. Keep him 
awake all that time and he will sleep later on. Wear him out so 
that he can fall asleep at ten o'clock- If you do not do that 
and do not supply Magnesium, he will grow weak crying; you will be 
nervous and irritable taking care of him; you will burn up your 
Magnesium; your complexion will fade and your eyes lose their 
brightness; all because of a lack of Magnesium. If a. mother does 
not eat rightly there will be trouble with the baby. If she suf-

and five. She must prevent that little baby from getting gas in-

Sodium is one of the elirainative salts. Chlorin acts upon the in-

giving perfect elimination. Eat foods rich in Sodium, Chlorin, 
Magnesium and Potassium, and put hot applications on the stomach; 
use the Swedish massage movements to cause greater action in the 
bowels; sleep in abundance; take the right kind of exercise; go to 
the hills occasionally for plenty of air, and your constipation 
will be cured. 

Some people use internal oaths, or colon irrigation; this is 
dangerous. Employ a doctor, or first-class nurse* who understands 



the construction of the intestines, to give you an internal bath. 
If you take merely a hot water injection into the bowels, you will 
drive -all the gas from the intestines up into the stomach, and then 
up into the brain. After you take an inside bath, you feel drowsy 
because you have sent that gas up into the brain. Take a. drink of 
peppermint tea and put a little juice of limes into it, and fill 
your stomach full of that so that no gas can be carried" up into the 
stomach. Take three quarts water, as hot as you can stand" it, the 
hotter the water the better it works-; two tablespoons- of salt, put a 
•little glycerine and soap- suds into the injection,, inject it slowly 
lying on the right side. Let the water run in slowly, then shut 
it off; shut off the stream about three or four minutes, then let it 
run in slowly. When all the water shall have been injected,, hold 
it ten or fifteen minutes, do a little exercising so that the water 
can do its work, then take plenty of time to evacuate all the water 
and the impurities* Do not be in a rush. Do not do it in half 
an hour. The bowels cannot act fully in less than two hours. You 
should stay two hours and let Nature act; then you are doing the 
wise thing. 

(g) Magnesium-hunger develops greater vibration in the brain cells; 
vibration in the nerve cells; rapid heart and pulse. The Exesthe- 
sic lady prefers to take a train, or automobile, where there are 
great vibration and noise; she needs more air. That is why the Ex- 
esthesic lady likes to ride in an automobile If she gets' sick; 
or even grows weak from walking, there is a lack of Magnesium. 

WHEN A MAGNESIUM DIET IS N EEDED : A direct symptom is one that is 
produced directly; an indirect symptom is brought about by Magnesium 
in connection with some other element, also lacking. P£ latent 
symptom appears only at stated intervals-, It may appear for two or 
three weeks and then not again, perhaps, for two or three years. 
Transient symptoms may appear to-day, then next week, then in two or 
three weeks, and appear constantly at those special times. 

Gas generation is a symptom* Many elements, as, for instance, 
Sulphur, produce gas generation,. Lack of Sodium, or Magnesium, pro- 
duces gas, so will excess of Magnesium; lack or excess of Potassium 
produces gas; lack or excess of Iron produces gas. Sulphur pro- 
duces gas when it is in excess. These are indirect gas symptoms, 
because there are other elements that have the same symptoms. But 
there is a difference between gas and gas; viz. , in one case of gas 
a. person feels bloated, for which he may take a salty drink. In. 
another case he may take a salty drink and it does not touch the 
gas. In other cases bi— carbonate of soda will break down that gas; 
or hot applications in other cases; or some other remedy helps to 
break down the gas. Gas and acid are different. Gas is one of 
the indirect symptoms of Magnesium. 

(&) Hi/hen Magnesium is lacking there is always tenacity in the secre- 
tions. A man spits and the mucus is so tenacious that it reaches 
the floor. When Magnesium is lacking there is gas in the stomach. 
The stomach becomes hot. Ycu can break down that gas by drinking 
juice of limes or the juice from sour Florida oranges. If you 
drink that juice and the gas is broken down, and you spit, the spit 
will hang from your mouth to the floor. It is a white froth. The 
white froth is not Magnesium itself, but it is Phosphorous. You

see, it is not Magnesium that is tenacious, but there is a tenaci- 
ty when it is lacking. When there is Magnesium, there is not 
that kind of mucus. That is always an indication that Magnesium 
is lacking and Phosphorus has the upper hand* Frothiness means 

excess of Phosphorous consumption. In the urine, it means that 
Phosphorous products are broken down. 

When 'Phosphorus appears in the urine, you may be sure that it is 
net Phosphorus lacking in the system, but it is Magnesium that is 
lacking. Magnesium should be there tc clean out all sorts of 
Phosphorous products. 

(3) Phosphorous excess is known by sour bowels; there is a sour 
odor all over the body, in the urine, in excreta., in the secre- 
tions. If you wash and wash with soap, you still have a sour odor. 
You cannot scrub off that sourness. 

(10) When Magnesium is exhausted, there will be disturbances of 
the digestive function. When the teeth are developing, certain 
salts are extracted from the blood and broken down, if Magnesium 
is not supplied. Gas pockets will form in the intestines, or 
perhaps the stomach. In one single corner of the stomach, there 
may be a gas pocket, and the gas is pressing downwardly,, outwardly, 
sidewardly. It sets the heart trembling. Cancer may develop. 

(13) Some ladies are so nervous that they do not know what t o do 
with themselves. It is Phosphorus at work, which gets the upper 
hand when Magnesium is lacking. The nervous system is on fire. 

(15) In July and August when there is danger of heart disease, 
Magnesium is needed. Eat a heavy Magnesium diet during July and 
August . 

PRINCIPAL MAGNESIUM FOODS : 

Magnesium tonics and drugs are beneficial only when the stomach is 
sour throughout, but at no other time. It. is the Magnesium 
tonics and drugs that are unorganized. The human system lives on 
and craves organic elements 6 

FIGS - are rich in such sugar that is easily taken up by the body* 
Figs are high in all of those salts contained in the body. 
Spinach and almond nuts contain nearly all the salts that are need- 
ed by the body (with the exception of two). Use salt on almond 
nuts and one more element is supplied. 

GRAPEFRUIT - is high in Magnesium. If you are excitable,, or high 
tempered, eat grapefruit. Grapefruit has a cooling and soothing 
effect upon the brain. If you are disappointed, eat grapefruit, 

ALMOND NUTS — contain over "5% of Magnesium. Almond nuts, and 
other foods high in Magnesium, are laxative. Do not eat the skin 
of almond nuts. Almond nuts are rich in starch. 



BLACK WALNUTS — contain Potassium chloride. 

BYE - Eat whole rye preparations and whole BARLEY dishes* 

BARLEY - contains 12.50 of Magnesium and is rich in Phosphorus* 
Here you find a better food for your tired brain, nerves, hot liver, 
and restless disposition. 

CHERRIES - are a good nerve and brain food. The white cherry is 
high in Phosphorus and rich in Magnesium, 

APPLES - are rich in malic acid, hence, not very good for anyone 
with the exception of highly alkaline temperaments* There are 
three Constitutions of people that can eat apples. 

QUE STIONS A ND A NSWER S: 

1. What have you to say about fasting, as we are soon to enter the 
fasting season? Is it better to fast, or diet? A, - You can 
fast by eating. That is the right kind of a fast* You can eat 
from morning to night and grow thin. Feed the stomach. Do not 
fast.. It does not pay. 

E. Please tell how to cook sauer-kraut . A. — Cook with spare 
ribs, or eat it raw. 

3, What causes an apparently well person to feel very short, like 
she was only about two feet tall? A- - That is a Magnesium— 
hunger symptom. Then, sometimes, they may also feel tall. 

il» How can a, fibroid tumor in thyroid gland be cured? A. — If it 
has gone too far it cannot be cured except by the knife. If it has 
not gone too far, it may be helped: by the juice from limes. 

5. If Epsom Salt is not good for constipation, what could one take 
to increase action in a. dropsical person? A. —Yes, it is good 
for constipation. You should give a dropsical person foods rich 
in Chlorin and Potassium, 

6* Does peppermint tea. contain Magnesium? A. - It contains prin- 
cipally Potassium. 

7. Can a Pathetic Constitution stand an operation, or anesthetic, 
if not, why not? A. — It does not follow that the Pathetic is 
weak or sickly, because she is sentimental. You can stop the ac- 
tion of the cerebellum, muscles, and heart too quickly hy anesthe— 
t ic s. 

8- What is the chemical value of dates? A. — They are very high 
in almost all the elements. High in protein, sugar, in the salts. 
Dates make the intestinal contents a. little clay— like, 

9. In taking an enema, should one lie on the right, or left side? 
At a Nature Cure Resort was told to lie on left side? A. — Lie 

on the right side, because the water flows more easily into the 
transverse colon.

INTRODUC TION: Children with insufficient Phosphorus will suffer 
from scrofula. Phthisis is nothing else than lack of the phos- 
phates in the body. rt is just the same with the human body as 
it is with plants. Take the phosphates out of the soil, and 
trees, fruits, vegetables and plants will suffer from plant dis^- 
ease. The agriculturist supplies the phosphates to our soil. 
We should supply Phosphorus to the human body. When it is a 
question of crops, the agriculturist analyzes the soil and" tells 
you that your soil lacks Potassium phosphate, or Calcium phos- 
phate; then you get the right kind of phosphate and sprinkle it in- 
to your soil and your soil becomes more congenial to your crops. 
We should handle human needs in a similar manner. 

Phosphates are valuable for plant life, and for soil vitality; al- 
so for growth of tissues. The most important are C ale ium- phos- 
phate, Sodium-phosphate, and Magnesium-phosphate. Those are most 
import-ant in the human organization* Those phosphates are till- 
ing the soil in the tissues, bones and elsewhere. When there is 
a lack of phosphates, there is lack of vitality. You may think 
it important to study calories, protein, fat, sugar, water, from 
a chemical standpoint. But the study of the organic salts as 
they act upon the human body; upon proteins, water, tissues* 
bones, nerves, vital organs, and secretions — is more important. 
Foods containing those salts are important for vitalization. If 
we test the blood or urine, what then? Do we know anything be- 
yond those tests* If something is lacking, what are we going to 
do? 



Suppose you find Magnesium phosphate, or albumin, or sugar r in the 
urine, what are you going to do then? Supply what? When sugar 
is refused by the tissues, eat foods rich in Sodium chlorid and 
Potassium chlorid, and live in a high altitude. 

When certain elements are not supplied pus will form. Tubercular 
people are pus types. They become worse when the salts needed in 
the tissues are low. They may suffer from catarrh in the fore- 
head, nose, stomach, chest, catarrh everywhere, because there is a 
lack of some of the organic salts. If those elements, are not 
supplied, there will be, not only catarrh, but pus, swelling of 
the glands, pus formations. People who eat wrongly for ten or 
fifteen years, may develop pus diseases. 

PHOSPHORUS IN THE MINERAL AND VEGETABLE KINGDOMS : With Phosphorus 
in the protoplasm, (even if there is life in the protoplasm), there 
can be no growth. Phosphorus is needed in protoplasm,, 

The larger the brain, the more Phosphorus is required, because 
more Phosphorus is burned up- If the brain is too large, too in- 
tense, or active, the brain is burning up the Phosphorus and the 
tissues are robbed. Then, the patient may run into tuberculosis. 
This happens sometimes when a child is too highly developed. A 



F-166 

child may be sixty years old in brain, and five, six, or seven years 
old' in body, or he has an old head on young shoulders. The very 
best thing to do is to put that boy, or girl, to sleep and stop the 
brain from acting. Let the Phosphorus go to the body. Give him 
a. sand— pile to play in and take him out of school, or you will bury 
him. That is why the consumptive should sleep much. When you put 
the brain to sleep, Phosphorus goes to the body. Children who suf- 
fer from ricketts should be put to sleep, so that the Phosphorus may 
go to the tissues. 

PHOSPHORUS, ITS N ATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS: When the heat in the 
brain becomes excessive, it affects the functions of the brain. 
When there is an excess of heat in the brain, there is a weakening 
of the functions in the brain. The physical functions of the body 
are transmuted, or altered. When there is too much heat in the 
brain, there is a wrong action in the tissues and functions of the 
body. You grow weak and irritable. You tremble, and your nerves 
tremble. Be careful in regard to artificial heat so that it is not 
excessive. Never sit in an over-heated room. The brain may be- 
come overheated. The temperature of the room should never be over 
69 degrees, perhaps as low as 50, 55, or 60. Room, or atmospheric 
temperature is better for one at, say, 69, for another at 65. The 
heat point for the Exesthesic is low, because there is too high gen- 
eration of heat in the nerves, brain, and liver. The Exesthesic 
should be well dressed on the feet, but craves, a. cool temperature 
around the head. The feet of the Exesthesic lady are often cold, 
but her head is overheated. There is greater generation of heat in 
the brain in all excitable, intense people. A person who is irri- 
table should be sent to a higher altitude. Never permit too much 
heat to go to the brain; you can overheat the brain easily. 

The head absorbs quicker than other parts of the body. If you take 
care of the physical functions there is no danger of paralysis. Be 
sure to cover up your head in intense light and heat, for the charac- 
teristics of Phosphorus are such that it absorbs the hot sun l s rays 
easily. Always cover up your head to protect it from the light and 
heat of the sun. It is better to go into the sun with a nude body 
than an uncovered head. If you suffer from the sun's rays, when up 
as high as 105 degrees, be sure to cover up your head, or place 
green leaves, or green grass in your hat. 

You must protect your head. So long as you protect your head, you 
are safe. If you have a patient suffering from excessive fever, 
protect his head and you save your patient. So soon as the fever 
heat in the body runs above 105 degrees, there is great danger. If 
the heat rises to 106, 108, the Phosphorus melts. You cannot, as a 
doctor, test the brain temperature by putting the thermometer under 
the tongue. Youmight , if you could stick the thermometer.' into his 
brain. The heat is in the brain, and the liver. If the heat 
rises to 105 with the thermometer under the tongue, the temperature 
has already reached 107 in the brain and spinal cord. Then, you 
will lose your patient, because you did not prevent an excessive 
brain temperature. When you apply heat to the body, you reduce heat 
in the brain. To prevent the heat from going to the spinal cord and 
the brain, when the fever is high; or, in other words, save the Phos- 
phorus from melting, put your patient into a warm bath, and you save 
him. Reduce the heat in the brain, and in the liver, by putting

the patient into a warm bath, by putting cold compresses on the 
neck or head, and perhaps on the feet, is very beneficial. Phos- 
phorus melts at from 103 degrees to 111 degrees. In fact, it .be- 
gins to melt at 104 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Some people suffering from syphilis may have water on the brain, 
because there is too much heat in the brain. If a man has too 
much heat in the brain,, he di'inks water, cr ice water, like ai fish. 
Ke perspires, and his perspiration is mostly in the head. 

When there is a lack of Phosphorus, a person suffers from sterili- 
ty. He loses sexual power. If a man lacks Phosphorus, Iron, or 
Oxygen, he will have weak children. If we lack Phosphorus we 
should not give rise to offspring, because the offspring will be 
feeble. Always supply Iron, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulphur, and 
Vitamines for transmission, 

The Phosphorus element has a great deal to do with vitalization, 
with fertilization, and with the creation of offspring* If a maa\ 
lacks Phosphorus K he lacks transmissive power, and has no right to 
become a father. 

If a man has a great deal of Phosphorus in his system, and he has 
the faculty of Veneration powerfully in the lead, he is prophetic. 
If a woman has Spirituality in the lead, and a, great deal of Phos- 
phorus, she is mediumistic. She can sense your soul state as & 
bloodhound scents a criminal. She can even tell you your name. 
She takes it from your brain. This is mediumship, When the 
table begins to transmit messages , it is Fhosphorus at work in the 
people around that table. 

Fireflies are so named because they have much Phosphorus. If we 
had sufficient Phosphorus, we too could shine in the dark. The 
Aura, or. light, which is outside the body, is the result of Phos- 
phorus. ?/hen you have a great deal of Phosphorus in your system, 
your soul becomes more illuminated. You have a light sphere 
around your tody. When the spirit leaves the body, that light 
dies out; some believe it goes to heaven. That light is called 
the aura - Is it the soul itself 9 If people have an abundance of 
Phosphorus, it makes them mere phosphorescent. If a man is dead 
and you hold up his fingers against the light, his fingers axe 
black. What became of that former aura? 

(ab) People with a great deal of Phosphorus are highly evoluted. 
People with very little Phosphorus ere of a low order. Take, for 
instance, the pig; it has only a spoonful of brain* The pig is 
not a very good philosopher. It does not have very much spinal 
matter, nor very fine nerve nets in the system. You find nothing 
but pork. All animals who do not have much Phosphorus in the 
brain are of a low order. Evolution depends upon the gray brain 
substance. The more gray brain matter a man has, the more intel- 
ligent he is. The more gray matter he has, the more of a philo- 
sopher he is; the more interest he takes in other people. If a 



F-168 

saint without very much Phosphorus in her brain, goes to church, she 
goes to sleep during the sermon. In her, the spirit may be willing 
but her flesh is weak. It is difficult to keep awake when we do 
not have very much Phosphorus. Mental people are so wide-awake that 
they can hardly ever fasll to sleep. Highly evoluted men suffer from 
sleeplessness. 

When Phosphorus is introduced in food form, it causes growth in cer- 
tain faculties. Put a man whose Spirituality, Veneration, Ideality, 
and all the spiritual faculties are weak, on a heavy Phosphorus diet 
and those faculties will develop, when he calls them into action. 
When a man has a limited quantity of Phosphorus in his brain, he has 
a low development of the occult, abstract faculties. 

Phosphorus makes a man meditative. It produces what is called — 
the subjective mind. A man with Phosphorus in his system is more ab- 
stract. Phosphorus people are impractical. They seldom have any 
money , 

Phosphorus is a bright element. Phosphorus people are wonderfully 
bright. A Phosphorus man once wrote articles- for the papers. When 
people went to see him, they were disappointed. His hat reached his 
shoulders; his whiskers were long; his shirt was sticking out behind 
when he walked; he was short, careless, and indifferent, and looked 
odd. Phosphorus always goes to extremes. People of the Phosphorus 
type always have weak bodies-, but are highly intelligent. 



HOW TO INCREASE PHOSPHORUS IN THE BODY: 



(d) Some of us may be of 



the Neurogenic Constitutions* A Neurogenic boy with a very active 
brain, who is going to school, and, perhaps, is the brightest child 
in school, but low in Vitality, should have something done for him so 
that all of his vitality does not go to his brain, because if the vi- 
tality goes to the brain exclusively, the child will, eventually, die, 
or suffer from tubercular ailments, or, perhaps, nervous prostration, 
or some other ailment* His arms and limbs are so white that it ap- 
pears* as if made from plaster of Far is. He looks as though he had 
no blood in his body. 

You may take a child like that to a medical specialist who tells you 
nothing can be done for him, or he may prescribe medicine that will 
never increase his vitality, nor give him an ounce of blood. We can 
never accomplish anything with medicine for such a. child. We can- 
not get vitality from medicine, never build him up from medicine, nor 
tonics. We must fall back upon those foods that are placed at our 
disposal. In introducing foods, we must remember that no food can 
be taken up unless the tody, or the brain, is exercised properly. 

You well know that the Phosphorus are used in the body, in the mus- 
cles, in almost all solid tissue. They are utilized in the blood 
and by the blood, and you will know that if the child sits in the 
schoolroom within four walls, he cannot get enough of fresh air, and 
when he is not in motion, in the fresh and open air, and in the liv- 
ing sunshine, he cannot take up the Phosphorus which is needed in the 
body. 

If the brain is too active, the Phosphorus goes to the brain, if the 
body is too active, the Phosphorus goes to the body and the brain is

INSTITUTE O F HU MAN NATURE STUDIES, CHICAGO,. ILLINOIS.

robbed; if the sexual system is too active then the Phosphorus- 
goes to the sexual system, or supports the sexual substance, in- 
creases passions, and the man lives a wild life. 

The Phosphorus has three functions, we may say, to perform; one 
being a mental function, or brain function; the second being a 
physical function, or tissue function; and the third being a sex- 
ual function, or generative function, having to do with transmis- 
sion, with passion, and with that which may be called" - amatory 
lcve, The more passion a man has, the more Phosphorus he draws 
towards the generative substance, the more Phosphorus he burns up 
through that same passion. The more vigorous a man is in muscle, 
the more he is out in active life in the sunshine, and the more he 
moves about, the more Phosphorus goes to the body, or to the solid 
fibres, tissues, and the more Phosphorus is being used up there. 
The man who has a large brain and a small body, the more active 
the brain and the more sluggish the muscles, the more that same 
Phosphorus is burned up in the brain and the body suffers, then 
we have that kind of temperament or Constitution that we call 
Atrophic, or tubercular. 

For that reason we should remember, always, that Phosphorus has 
various functions to perform, and that it depends upon our activi- 
ty where that Phosphorus goes. If the brain of the individual is 
the most active, as, for instance, in the Calciferic, or Neurogen- 
ic, or Atrophic people, the Phosphorus goes to the brain and is 
being burned up there. If the muscles themselves, or the fibrous 
tissues are more active, the Phosphorus goes to the muscles. If 
the generative system, or the sex function, or passion, is the 
most active, the Phosphorus goes there to support that function. 

TVhen we are in vigorous action, in sudden action, as, for instance, 
when we are taking physical exercises, or when we are practicing 
athletics, we draw Phosphorus to the muscles. That is why barley 
food is so valuable in building up muscle; because barley food 
yields its Phosphorus to the muscles more readily than it does to 
other parts of the body. That is also why we can build muscle in 
a child more quickly on barley food, providing the child can han- 
dle barley food. When the child eats barley food, it must not 
have an acid stomach, because if the stomach is acid, barley pre- 
parations will make the stomach more acid-. 

Again, there are some food elements that go with Calcium; i.e., 
they carry Calcium phosphates, perhaps tri-Calcium phosphate* 
Milk, for instance, carries Calcium phosphate in abundance. Thus, 
some Calcium phosphate foods support the bones more than any other 
part of the body. To get the benefit of those Calcium foods,, or 
those Calcium phosphate foods, it becomes necessary to exercise 
accordingly. 

A* man who is quick and active will never build strong bones, but a 
man who is slow, easy— going, very strong, and makes great exertion 
when he does act, sucks up, so to speak, all of the tri-Calciunv 



F-170 

phosphate from foods that he eats. To develop bones, take all sorts 
of physical exercise, and let them be slow and prolonged, never sud- 
den. If you use vigorous effort all of the time, or if you carry & 
heavy load, planks, for instance, from morning until night, and you 
are compelled to make strong and prolonged effort, you compeil /our 
bones to take up tri-Calcium phosphate. But when you are in quick 
action, when you are using muscles quickly, rapidly, or you engage in 
light, physical exercise, very suddenly, you compeil your muscles to 
utilize Phosphorus, also fibrin, and albumin* Muscles are princi- 
pally protein, or they are vegetable products, but bones are Calcium 
products-, 

The bones are the strongest part of man, and the stronger the bones 
are, the larger the bones are, the more slow and" ox-like that same 
man is in all his movements* That same man who is slow and easy- 
going, yet exercises a great deal cf determination and effort in 
everything he does, that same man compells his bones, to take Up the 
phosphates. The ©an who sits in a chair, at a desk and studies all 
sorts of idealism, devotes himself to Theos6phy, or religious philo- 
sophy, who dreams his life aWay and never makes any effort, only 
writes, writes, writes> idealistic doctrines, that man uses the Phos- 
phorus in his brain. Meanwhile, his body becomes weaker and weaker; 
at last there is hardly anything left of him but his head. His head 
grows larger, and larger, and his body grows smaller and smaller. At 
last there is but a big head, and a little, frail body* He becomes 
a sort of a. balloon. He likes the clouds. The more Phosphorus 
that goes to the brain, the more impractical he becomes, and the 
weaker he becomes in body; Soon he goes above the olouds, where he be- 
1 ongs . 

But the Calcium man is a solid man, a man of deep thought, a man of 
science, a man who does not believe anything until it is proven, a. 
man who uses the Phosphorus in the bones. 

When we understand these principles, we understand why people can sit 
at the same table and eat similar foods, one becomes more and moi® mus- 
cular, the second becomes more and more bony and scientific, and the 
third becomes more and more idealistic. The idealist cures by faith, 
while the osseous man cures by drugs- The idealist cures through 
the mind, and the osseous man cures in a material way. 

When we send our children to school, first look them over and see 
what make-up they are. The education should begin in the back yard, 
in the sand— pile, with a wheelbarrow and a spade, with Phosphorus 
children, while the education of some others should begin with very 
heavy physical exercises to develop bones. It may even be necessary 
to get a child to carry heavy planks, so as to develop bone. The ed- 
ucation of others can, perhaps, begin in the brain. 

For instance, a child of a Ca.rboferic Constitution, or perhaps Myo- 
genic, with a rather phlegmatic body, very active physical functions, 
but rather dull, stupid, train, carnot learn much in school. Mental 
exercises will never injure him» But a child, on the other hand, 
who looks as though he were made, of alabaster, large intellect and 
strong development of the will section of the brain, weak development 
of the vital centres, and backhead, a small, slender body, should not 
be sent to school* Every hour while he is in school, inside of four

walls, he is using his brain, and' is simply preparing his coffin* 
The longer he is there , the sooner he will die. 

Phosphorus has a vital and important intellectual function to per- 
form in the brain, an important vital function to perform in the 
muscles, an equally important function to perform in the bones, 
and in the sexual system. A man who lacks Phosphorus is "not ca- 
pable of becoming a father, or if he does become a father, he will 
have a defective child . When Phosphorus is not well supplied to 
the sexual system and to the generative substance, the offspring 
will be weak, no matter what- that man may know about eugenics. 
If, at the time of conception, there is no Phosphorus in the gen- 
erative substance, or if the Phosphorus is used up in his brain 
principally, or in the bones principally, his child will be defec- 
tive. 

Phosphorus has many important functions to perform: One is a 
generative function; another is an osseous or bone-building func- 
tion; another is a muscle-building, or Myogenic > or protein func- 
tion; and still another is a brain-building and brain-sustaining 
function. The question is - Where do we want the Phosphorus to 
go? 

This question we must remember, in regard to Phosphorus, because, 
if Phosphorus goes to the brain, principally^ it will weaken the 
entire body* The more Phosphorus that goes to the brain, the 
weaker will be the man in a physical sense, or the child, as the 
case may be* If Phosphorous products", are broken down rapidly, a 
weak liver will not throw them off equally at all times, hence, he 
will suffer from jaundice, low nutrition, acid stomach, and other 
ailments. When the liver cannot carry them off, and becomes 
over— flooded with Phosphorous products, he is likely to suffer 
from yellow atrophy of the liver, from running of the bowels, per- 
sistent diarrhea that nothing will cure, bloating, sleeplessness, 
phthisis. At such a time, it becomes necessary to regulate the 
Phosphorous function, and send the Phosphorus to the brain, to 
the muscles, to the sexual system, to the bones, then the trouble 
in the intestines, and in the liver will soon disappear. 

When suffering from broken down Phosphorus, stop mental exercise - 
go to the hills, exercise slowly, go hunting, or fishing. At any 
time, when you suffer from Phosphorous ailments, symptoms, or dis- 
eases, go away from your stenography,, from your disagreeable sur- 
roundings, go to the hills, and eat and drink foods that are rich 
in Phosphorus, and notice the results. 

Water purifies itself by its own motion, and the air purifies it- 
self also by motion, and sunshine. That is the way the air 
should be, purified before it acts upon the human body* 

PEOPLE TOO R EQUIRE PHOSPHOROUS FOODS : Why do people require 
Phosphorous"! oods? We say that idiots require Phosphorous food 
because their brain cells, themselves, are .so sluggish, that the 



F-172 



brain cells may not make a vibration per month. How can a child 
like that, or any person like that, understand, anything? Plow can ■ 
he utilize Phosphorus? But we must supply Phosphorus anyway, and 
then call his attention to his environments and thus arouse his 
brain. We cannot use our eyes, nor ears, nor tongues, nor can we 
exercise emotion without utilizing Phosphorus and developing 
brain. If you cannot get an idiot to understand anything, hit him 
so that it hurts and wake him up that way, and he will utilize Phos- 
phorus. T7hen it hurts, you reach the feelings. You can reach him 
through the sensations. Arouse his brain, and then supply Phos- 
phorus, and the Phosphorus will do the wcrk. 

In any faculty that is weak, there is a low fire of Phosphorus, and 
therefore, that faculty cannot understand. What does a color— blind 
man know about color? What does a man know about love who is weak 
in Conjugality? He may think he is a good husband , but his wife 
knows better. Among all faculties, if you, or I, or anyone, has a 
weak faculty, the very best thing we can do is to wake that faculty 
up in some way, and then supply Phosphorus. Do not try to develop 
your mind by mere suggestion, for that does not work. You cannot 
build the Masonic Temple out of moonshine, you must have stone, and 
bricks,., mortar and Iron columns* So also with mental development. 
Do not try to make yourself courageous merely by thinking; that 
does not work. Tackle a strong man and beat hirru Make yourself 
feel it so that you feel it in your very bones, and you call the fa- 
culty Combativeness into action, which faculty Phosphorus feeds, 
when the faculty is in action. 

Phosphorus is used in every faculty seat of the brain. It is impos- 
sible even to develop a faculty without supplying Phosphorus first, 
to develop a faculty, or any feeling, or characteristic,

People who imagine mind, memory, reason, emotion, prayer, concentra- 
tion, etc., can be developed by mere suggestion, and nothing else,. 
do not know anything about the chemistry of man. For whenever we 
try to develop, we should not only use that special feeling, charac- 
teristic, impulse, or thought, but should also supply the Phosphorus, 
or material, needed. 

There is Phosphorus, and Phosphorus. The Phosphorus that supports 
the sidehead; the Phosphorus that supports the intellect; the Phos- 
phorus that supports the tophead; the Phosphorus that supports the 
concentration aaid will; the Phosphorus that supports the backhead - 
are Phosphorus in different combinations. The Phosphorus that you 
find in honey, for instance, will build up your backhead. The 
more honey you eat, and the more Phosphorus you get of that kind, the 
more affectionate you become. Phosphorus, associated with sugar, 
for instance, develops Parental Love; Phosphorus combined with Cal- 
cium builds up Firmness, and the bones „ The Phosphorus that you 
find in fruits builds up the moral faculties, Therefore, it is not 
a. question, only, of Phosphorus, it is a question of a speciaJ. kind 
of Phosphorus, when we wish to develop. What good is your prayer 
if you live on coffee, tea, spices, and whiskey? 

In one food, as, for instance, beechnuts, you find Phosphorus with 
Calcium. In another food, _ spinach, you have Phosphorus with

Potassium. In still another food you find it combined with some 
other element, or compound. Therefore, when we understand all 
Phosphorous functions, and the various functions of the brain, 
dietetics become more Understandable. Then, as dietecians,we do 
not recommend a milk diet to everybody; and we do not recommend g. 
vegetable diet to all., nor do we condemn a meat diet; nor do we 
recommend a starvation diet, either. Sometimes a man is sick, 
and there is nothing left of him but ' skin and bones* If he goes 
to a sanitarium, they may starve him, nevertheless-. Think of 
starving a skeleton I We should build uo such a man, not starve 
him. There is a way of dieting without starving. We can give 
a man a diet by means of which the eliminative functions are ac- 
tive, yet not supplied with solid material* We can put a man on 
an eliminative diet, and starve him by degrees, yet he may eat 
from morning until night, as he is being starved. 

Feeble-minded people are in need of Phosphorus, Their brain is 
not supplied with Phosphorus, nor is it taking up Phosphorus c If 
you keep your child in school studying mathematics, at last the 
brain will twist like a corkscrew, and there comes a time when 
that child will not understand any mathematical problem at all. 
Lastly it may die in some asylum. Atrophic people require Phos- 
phorus, for the reason that Phosphorus is being burned up too ra- 
pidly in the brain, for which reason there is not enough going to 
the body. Sterility and impotence demand a Phosphorous diet, 
also affection. In a warm climate and high altitude, under a 
Phosphorous diet, you are able to overcome sterility and impotence. 

Lawyers, doctors, students, and ministers of the gospel who de- 
liver sermons perhaps two or three times a day, may run into 
neurasthenia. Then, what should we give them? Dope? K cold 
hose on the back? Do you think we should supply Phosphorus for 
that which has been burned up in the brain? Have you noticed, 
sometimes, when you. talk for a long, long time, how you become 
overheated in the brain, that your brain is restless so you cannot 
go to sleep? Why is that? It is because you have used your 
intellect persistently. Perhaps you argued for two hours about 
politics, and burned up the Phosphorus in the Causality centre of 
the brain, you broke down Phosphorous products. If you would 
take a drink rich in Magnesium, and eat food rich in Magnesium, 
they would help to eliminate all the Phosphorous products, so that, 
to-morrow, you would not suffer from ailments, nor from gas. The 
stomach becomes sour because Phosphorous products are so exceeding- 
ly sour that they make the stomach sour. If you talk much, you 
sour your stomach, and to-morrow you cannot digest your food* If 
you have a small liver, you cannot afford to run into temper, be- 
cause your liver is not equal to that temper. If you have a 
large liver, you may cultivate temper occasionally. 

We cannot think, nor talk, nor cultivate emotion, nor experience 
passion, without burning up Phosphorus. Phosphorus is the candle 
of intelligence that burns in the brain all of the time.

The word "Phosphorus" means - light carrier, Phos means -light; 
phorus means - carrier. Carrier of light. Chat is what Phosphor- 
us is, viz., the intellectual lamp in the brain, burning, burning, 
"burning. Phosphorus is the oil that supplies soul light. When 
Phosphorus is no more supplied, that intellectual lamp goes out, and 
then we are in the dark, like idiots, 

INFLUENCE OP AN EXCESSI VE AJJOUNT OP PHOSPHOROUS POOD S ON: - Health - 
If Phosphorus is broken down too rapidly a man "becomes morbid. The 
more Phosphorus a man burns up, the more morbid he becomes, and the 
more sour his stomach becomes, and the more of a dyspeptic he will 
be. A dyspeptic has very little influence on anybody, not even 
with the Almighty, because the prayer of a dyspeptic, in my opinion, 
does not go very high; it is a sour compound. 

VOCATIONS FOR WHICH PHOSPHOROUS PEOPLE ARE BEST ADAPTED : We have 
reference here, to that kind of Phosphorous people who have the 
Phosphorus predominating in brain and body. There are some people 
who have a small body and a large head; they have the eyes low down 
in the face; they 'have a head shaped something like a balloon; they 
have a small body. Soch people, we call Neurogenic, or Phosphorus 
people, which means no'ching else than that the Phosphorus is being 
attracted to the brain too rapidly, and being burned up in the brain 
excessively. In other words, Phosphorous consumption and metabo- 
lism are excessive in the brain. They are the people who are adapt- 
ed for such vocations mentioned in this lesson. It is interesting 
to see where inclinations come from; it is interesting to see why a 
person takes up certain studies, and why he succeeds in certain occu- 
pations. 

HELPFUL HINTS : (a) My points are taken in regard to the Neurogenic 
man, or in regard to the tubercular man, or any man who is forever 
using his brain. When Calcium is acting upon the body, it takes a 
certain degree of Phosphorus away from the brain, and stops the brain 
action to a great extent. ' If a child is too active in brain, the 
body is not being built up. The girl, being too slender and bone- 
less, must be put, not only On a Phosphorous diet, but also on a 
diet that is rich in Calcium. Calcium is lime, though not exactly, 
because lime is a Calcium oxide, and may also contain other elements. 
It is not right to call Calcium by the name of lime, but sometimes 
it is done. We hear doctors talk about "lime hardening", not a 
strictly scientific expression. 

Lecithin is a Greek word meaning ~ Egg Yolk, raw egg yolk. Egg 
yolk is a compound of the greatest value to the brain, and also to 
the generative system. 

Whenever you wish to do your best, to use your brain tremendously; 
whenever you must have plenty of Phosphorus for that brain of yours, 
make a drink containing, three, four, five, six or seven raw egg- 
yolks and drink that, and you will be at your very best. 

If you want to become a father, and you want a really gifted child, 
see that youx brain is well nourished, and that the generative sub- 
stance is well supplied with vitality. Leave your books on eu- 
genics in your library, and steam up and you can accomplish more. 
v?e do not say anything against works on eugenics, because they are

good in their place, but what we mean is, not to forget the food 
material needed in a certain case. Study eugenics, science, phil- 
osophy; we never- know too much, but whatever we do, let us not for- 
get the food' material which is needed in the human organization 
for certain purposes and by certain functions* 

Ozone is brought down from the clouds every time it rains. Dur- 
ing every electrical storm, ozone is brought low down* During, 
and after an electrical storm, do not stay indoors:, but go out and 
breathe, and draw the ozone into yourself. 

WHEN A PHOSPHOROU S DI ET IS NEEDED: There are always some symp* * 
toms, ailments and diseases by means of which we can determine po- 
sitively and scientifically just when a Phosphorous diet is needed. 
We have a few of those symptoms here, but they are only a few., yet 
they indicate positively when a Phosphorous diet is needed. We 
have in our possession perhaps a. thousand symptoms, ailments and 
diseases w not listed herein, and which are not necessary to 
have, unless we want to go into all the details of Phosphorus. 

Millions of men and women are taking treatments for sexual weakness 
to— day, but never improve at all. Sexuality, to be improved, re- 
quires a rich Phosphorous diet. Very few people know that the 
Almighty uses Phosphorus for the purpose of Developing a stronger 
sexuality. Very few know that Sulphur will give greater genera- 
tive power, and very few know that Iron and Oxygen are needed' for 
that purpose* Supply Phosphorus, Sulphur, Iron, Oxygen, Neurol, 
and warmth, instead of going to specialists, and thereby build up 
a stronger sexuality, and give rise to greater offspring. Some- 
times I look at people and think, here is Mr. Weakling, anxious to 
marry; and here is this lady also anxious to marry; both may be- 
come father and mother in the course of time. She feels too weak 
and is afraid to marry, and the man, perhaps, fears the results and 
hesitates. They may go to a doctor who may be interested only in 
the substance they have in their pocketbook. In a case like that, 
eat abundantly of foods rich in Iron, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulphur, 
and Neurol, and live in a congenial climate, when it is a question 
of developing a stronger sexuality. 

When there is a dislike for exertion and work, or when a person al- 
most never makes an effort except under excitement, Phosphorus is 
needed. You have heard people say, "Whenever I make an effort, I 
simply work on my nerves." They feel that way, and speak that 
way, simply because they are lacking in Phosphorus. When we are 
burning up Phosphorus too rapidly in the brain, in the nerves, in 
the muscles, bones, and generative substance, you may be sure that 
sooner or later Phosphorus will run low. If we do not know how 
to supply it, sooner or later we become Neurogenic, and are not 
able to accomplish what we otherwise oould. 

Self— efficiency . Business men, managers, and railroad executive?! 
always speak about business efficiency, system. It has never oc- 
curred to these men that a suitable diet is necessary in order to 



2-176 

increase business efficiency. Suppose you want to sell goods, as 
a salesman. You would be able to use your brain more vigorously, 
to convince your prospects better, to make more sales, if you are 
under the influence of those food elements that give vim and snap 
to everything, including Phosphorus. There is an important princi- 
ple in business efficiency. You never can do your best as a sales- 
man, manager, railroad executive, without you have those elements in 
your blood, in your muscles, in your brain, that enable you to use 
all your energies to the very best advantage* 

We do not care how strong Self -Esteem and Combat iveness are, if you 
lack Phosphorus in brain and muscle, you will feel a lack of self- 
confidence, however powerful you may be; because, when a man is 
weak, he is simply weak. When he has Combativeness, when he is 
weak, then he is exceedingly nervous. 

When Phosphorus is lacking a person looks old. On the other hand, 
when the Vitamines are supplied, a man looks young. Therefore, an 
old man can make himself look young, and a young man can make him- 
self look old by diet alone. I have seen a young man of eighteen 
look as old as sixty, because of lack of Phosphorus, 

When a man practices self-abuse, he always weakens the Phosphorous 
function, 'and he weakens also the function of taking up Neurol for 
the brain. The brain itself shrinks, and the membranes become 
weakened and shrunken; he cannot take up Phosphorus. Phosphorous 
metabolism is low in any man who abuses the sex function, I do 
not care whether a man goes to excess sexually, or whether he prac- 
tices self-abuse, it leads to the same result; or whether he eats 
foods that do not contain Phosphorus, it brings the same results . 
If he falls back upon a Phosphorous diet, he cures his ailments, 
and improves his appearance." 

Phosphorus and Fluor in, and many other elements, should be supplied 
in abundance in times of paralysis. When a child is slow in 'learn- 
ing to walk, or is clumsy, falls easily, Phosphorus is needed. It 
requires a certain degree of strength to control your movements, to 
control your feet and hands, to regulate the equilibrium of the 
body, or the co-ordination of the various muscles and tendons, and, 
if there is not enough of Phosphorus, there is weakness, awkward- 
ness, clumsiness. Hence, a person who lacks Phosphorus is always 
clumsy. If he takes hold of something, he breaks it; if he pulls 
down a curtain, he jerks it down and breaks it; if he picks up a 
glass case, he falls in the stairway and breaks the case, and his 
shoulder bone into the bargain. 

The penmanship of a child that lacks Phosphorus is clumsy and awk- 
ward, because the child cannot control its fingers, the finger tech- 
nique is defective in the child, or co-ordination of movements is 
not complete when Phosphorus is lacking. 

There are so many symptoms and peculiarities by which we know when 
Phosphorus is needed. If a ehild does not like to study, or if he 
studies too much, and wants to study and read, read, read, early 
and late, until lie becomes a regular bookworm, Phosphorous consump- 
tion is too great, and nearly all the Pliosphorus goes to the brain. 
Then, it is time to take the books away from him and lock them up,

and send' him out into the back yard to the sandpile, and give him 
a wheelbarrow, and a shovel, in the sunshine. 

This we should remember when it is a. question of Phosphorous meta- 
bolism; we can always increase Phosphorous metabolism at a time 
it is required",. The sun cures. Let the sun fall upon the nude 
body. The sunlight increases Phosphorous metabolism in the tis- 
sues, when the body is nude and Phosphorous food is supplied". It 
is the same when we want to increase Phosphorous' metabolism, or 
when a man is clumsy and awkward and lacking Phosphorus in the 
brain. Take off his hat and let in the sunlight into his brain. 
The brain is stimulated to greater Phosphorous metabolism. Keep 
the hat off, shave off the hair if necessary. 

(27) When a child wakes up and screams in the middle of the night, 
perhaps you call it colic, but it may be caused by a lack of 
Phosphorus. When there is a lack of Phosphorus, there are flee- 
ing pains here, there and everywhere. The more the Phosphorus 
is lacking, the more intense the pain. 

Cow's milk contains Phosphorus and Calcium, Such milk is well 
suited for a man who is of a Calciferic Constitution. A" Phos- 
phorus and bony man is the man who should be given cow's milk in 
abundance. If a man is slender, has slender bones, and he is in 
great need of development of muscles, cow's milk is needed, be- 
cause cow's milk contains Potassium, Chlorin, Phosphorus, and 
Calcium. Some foods contain Chlorin in an inorganic form, as, 
for instance, sauer-kraut, which contains 13$ to 14$, which is 
really nothing else than common table salt. Ham, and many 
cheese, are very rich in Chlorin, but it is inorganic Chlorin. - 
In cow's milk we have organic Chlorin. 

You think that milk is sometimes very constipating. Cow's milk 
is exceedingly constipating, but goat's milk, or goat's cheese, is 
not constipating, because goat's milk contains lactic- acid in 
abundance; it contains Chlorin, Sodium, Potassium, and only 5$ of 
Calcium of the salts found in goat s s milk. • Every one of us 
should have a goat ranch and sell milk here,, there, and everywhere- 
Xt would be a great Messing. Goat's milk is exactly what chil- 
dren need, nor should it be boiled, because when you boil milk 
you kill the Vitamines and alter the chemicals. Do not pasteur^ 
ize milk. Feed children the natural product; never interfere 
with the Almighty's plan. You do not need to pasteurize goat's 
milk, because there is no bacteria in it, because it is rich in 
Potash and Fluoi in, the very salts and chemicals that make bac- 
terid, feel very uncomfortable,. 

PRINCIPAL PHOS PHOROU S FOODS: 

WHEAT BRAN-is rich in Phosphorus,, but where is the person who can 
digest wheat bran? Another thing, when the wheat bran goes down- 
into the intestines, it takes up the water in the intestines, 
locks them up and makes the intestinal walls dry. Instead of 



F-178 

curing constipation, it increases it.' Bran contains colloids. 
When it goes down into the intestines, in heat and among germs, it 
becomes germ soil. We do not need to eat yeast either. We are 
told to eat yeast for the increase of the Vitamines, but we do not 
need the Vitamines that are found in yeast. We can get Vitamines 
from nobler sources. It is true that yeast is full of Vitamines, 
but it is also true that these Vitamines are born of fermentation 
and spores, unfavorable to the human organization. Why not eat raw 
egg yolk for Vitamines? Kiere you do not find fermentative en- 
zymes. In yoast you get germs and ferment; in egg yolk you find 
llf§, organic salts and Vitamines- 

BAKLEY - is a food that deserves mention. In the various foods we 
find various food compounds. In barley, we find a great deal of' 
Phosphorus with Silicon :"n abundance, also maltose, or malt sugar, 
easily taken up by the muscles. Barley ferments easily. If the 
kidneys are weak, barley will affect them. A person who has weak 
kidneys should never eat malt, nor barley food* Beer made of malt, 
or barley, should not be drank by a person who has weak kidneys. 

If a child is growing, and the muscular system is in a good condi- 
tion, but he is a little lean, you can build the child up in muscle 
and flesh 'quicker on a barley diet than on anything else, because, 
in barley, we find Phosphorus, Silicon, Potassium, Magnesium, and 
maltose. It is a fine food for people who have strong kidneys, and 
people who are lean. 

BEANS - contain nearly 39^ of Phosphorus, and over 2>% of ash. That 
is a fine food for growing children, providing they have good kid- 
nets. If you give your children beans, peas and barley foods of 
various descriptions, they will build muscle, bone, nerves, brain, 
and an efficient generative system, and plenty of Phosphorus will be 
supplied to all the functions. 

Whenever there is gas do not eat barley, nor beans. We cannot eat 

many foods then. Gas must absolutely be neutralized and sent out 

of the system, because I believe firmly, and absolutely, that there is 

no indigestion at any other time except when there is gas In the 

system. I believe that gas Is the only cause of Indigestion. 

When there is gas in the system there Is a lack of some organic 

salts. 

When there is gas in the stomach, eat no food until that gas is neu- 
tralized. Gas is the meanest thing a patient has to fight. We 
have come to the conclusion, though I do not say I am right, that 
about 10fo of all diseases are caused by gas and acidity in the 
stomach. The intestines will stand still; they cannot act; there 
is no peristalsis in the stomach when there is gas pressing in every 
direction. That gas goes into the nerves, into the brain, and the 
patient feels as though he is drunk, and does not have control of 
the faculties and nerves . He cannot concentrate. You will live 
longer, become more efficient, merely by neutralizing intestinal gas- 
es. The little baby suffers from gas, and gray hair does not escape 
it. Even the growing youth is sometimes a factory of gas. Doctors 
usually have a hard fight against gas, even if they do not know that 
It is gas. The cause of indigestion, heart disease, gout, rheuma- 
tism, neuritis, is gas and acidity. That weak brain, that lack of

LECTtiaa NOTES, COURSE-FOODS & CHE MIC ALS. SUBJECT- PHOSPHORUS . 

concentration, weak memory, that weak sexual system, has its ori- 
gin in gas and acidity. We actually believe that, if we would 
only fall back upon a basic diet at all times, and supply all those 
se.lt s needed in the body, we could live perhaps twenty, thirty, 
forty, fifty years longer* In fact, we do not know how much 
longer we could, or could not, live; but I believe, if we master 
the question of diet, we may live as long as Carr, 152 years, per- 
haps longer* Carr did not know anything about diet, he lived 
much on buttermilk and potatoes, a. real gas diet, 

FISH - is a good food for the brain. Fish supplies Neurol, Phos- 
phorus, and Sodium phosphate. The best fish that you can buy is 
Uniting. Remember that whiting is not whitefish. Do not eat 
whitefish any more than you can help, or you may possibly suffer 
from cancer, as whitefish may carry cancer germs. Trout' is al- 
so rather dangerous fish, and likely to carry cancer germs. 

In fish, we find Phosphorus combined with a certain valuable fat, 
important to the spinal marrow, to the fatty substance in the 
nerves and to the brain. It is often needed in a nervous lady 
who is high-tempered, unstrung, intense, who burns up the fat and 
the Phosphorus in the nerves and brain, thereby suffering from neu- 
ralgia, burning nerves, burning nerve plexuses, hysterics, and 
prostration. A fish diet often cures her. Whiting is a clean 
fish, even if it is found in dirty water. 

LENTILS - Great physical workers should eat lentils. Phosphorus 
and Potassium phosphate we find in lentils. Lentils support and 
build tissue. Dried olives, not ripe olives, but sun-dried olives, 
also olives treated by common salt, contain Potassium, a certain 
oleic fat, also Phosphorus, which develop muscles and tissue. 
Give a man who suffers from paralytic symptoms, olives in abundance. 

We should always eat foods in such a form that we may obtain the 
organic salts. A food from which the organic salts have been ta- 
ken, is a disease food. A food that has been over-cooked, as, 
for instance, cow's milk, subjected to 172 degrees of heat, through 
pasteurisation processes, that same milk has been altered in its 
organic salts, and the Vitamines have been killed. If you give 
your child such milk, you give your child dead food. 

MILK - Cow*s milk contains Calcium, Potassium, Chlorin and Phos- 
phorus. Goat's milk contains Fluorin, Phosphorus, Potash, a high 
percent of Chlorin, also lactic acid. This is a. valuable food, 
because you find all the blood salts in it. Calcium phosphate, 
Potassium chlorid and Sodium chlorid, you find in goat's milk and 
in goat's cheese. These are the very salts that are needed in 
the blood-, and by the blood, and found in goat's milk in just 
about the exact proportion. This is why goat's milk is so very 
valuable. Human milk and goat's milk is very much the same, ex- 
cept that human milk contains only 45/100 of 1% of organic salts, 
while goat's milk contains almost 2$ of organic salts; or, in 



Mt 



F-180 ... 

other word's, goat r s milk contains many times as much organized salts" 
as human milk.. Cow l s milk contains only 7l/l00 of l*f of organic 
saltsy and these organized salts are principally Calcium. Goat"*s 
milk contains of' organized salts 1.74^, or several times as much of 
organized' salts, as cow's milk. Some men say — "Milk is milk and 
that is all", but there is a chemical difference not generally 
Known. 

The Phosphorus you find in cow's milk is, perhaps, that kind of Phos- 
phorus that builds bone, horns and hoofs, needed by the calf. The 
baby needs brain. We do heJieve, that you cannot bu;ld brain from 
cow's milk very successfully. We believe, we must fall back upon 
vegetables, fish r egg yolk, rye and barley, in order to sustain and 
build an efficient human brain.. 

NUTS - Look at the percent of salts we find in nuts. In almond 
nuts, we find nearly 44$ of the salts found in the ash. Almond nuts 
support your brain. Suppose you make an egg shake of raw egg yolk, 
of some kind of alkaline liquid, and then sprinkle grated almond 
nuts, or walnuts, into the drink; then suppose you eat a piece of 
baked whiting, and a piece of whole rye bread, and you have the best 
kind of brain food. Your brain, from such a diet, can solve knot- 
ty problems, and elaborate the greatest inventions. 

OATS - You should remember that all foods that you must cook are not 
so valuable as foods that you can eat without cooking. Do not cook 
egg yolk, nor milk. You do not need to cook nuts. There are many 
foods you can eat without cooking. Some foods must be cooked, but 
in cooking them you destroy the Vitamines. Then you get nothing 
but the dead elements. Of course, we need a certain degree of dead 
material also, but we should not forget that we need life, life to 
sustain life. The weaker we grow, the more we need the Vitamines. 
In order to obtain the Vitamines, we must eat food that contains them. 
But this does not mean that we should eat raw starch, or raw pota- 
toes. 

RICE - of course, we cannot digest raw, We find Phosphorus and Po- 
tassium together with starch, in rice, providing it is wild rice, or 
unpolished rice. Never eat the ordinary polished rice, because it 
is mainly starch. 

RYE — is an excellent brain food. Rye and Barley are better brain 
food than wheat. Barley and rye require but little digestive 
powers. Wheat is difficult to digest, but rye yields its Phosphor- 
us easily, while wheat dees, not yield it easily. It is almost im- 
possible to take Phosphorus out of wheat, because it is so difficult 
of digestion, but a child, even with a weak stomach* could take 
Phosphorus out of barley, rye, egg yolk and fish. 

Clam broth, for instance, and whole rye bread would make a good Phos- 
phorous food. It is easy to take the Phosphorus out of clam brroth 
and rye bread, when the broth is hot and the bread is well soaked 
therein. But a rhinoceros could hardly extract the Phosphorus from 
wheat bran, raw wheat, and other wheat preparations. 

Never give any one cold food who has a weak stomach, and never give 
such a patient heavy meals*' This, we should bear in mind always; 
the weaker the stomach, the warmer the food should be.

L ECTUR E NOTES. COURSE-FOODS & CHEMI CALS . EFFECT OF MENTAL 

STATE ON FOODS. 

It is not generally known, and a great many of us hardly ever stop 
to think of the effect that mind has upon the diet, nor do we con- 
sider the fact that we, when we sit down at the table to eat, al- 
ways take along with us the various faculties of which we are com- 
posed, and not only the faculties, but also various states of mind, 
cr what we usually call attitudes. 

These states of mind have their influence upon the food that we eat 
Many faculties come into play when we sit down at the table to eat; 
faculties that we, perhaps, never think about, states of mind that 
we are not aware of. We do not stop to think that the various 
states of mind have any influence upon the organs and functions 
throughout the body. 

There is a reason why we are able to digest food; and there is al- 
so a reason why we suffer from indigestion. The passions, senti- 
ments, appetities, or states of mind, when we are at the table, 
have everything to do with digestion, assimilation, and up-building 
in general* Each faculty has its influence upon some special func- 
tion in the body. YJhen we are at the table we should exercise 
certain thoughts, certain mental attitudes, so that we may call in- 
to action those very faculties that are mostly concerned in nutri- 
tion, digestion, elimination, secretion, and other processes or 
functions in the body. 

The mind has its influence upon digestion, there is no question 
about that. If a man cultivates hatred for a long, long time, 
eventually he poisons his own secretion, and to a certain extent 
he will prevent his gastric glands from acting; he will prevent 
the gastric juice from acting upon the stomach. The internal se- 
cretions will not be secreted to such an extent as v.-ould otherwise 
be the case, because, if hatred possesses the man, the secretory 
material will not be secreted, and, therefore, also, food cannot 
be digested. 

It is not enough to eat certain kinds of food, but it is also es- 
sential to perform the functions of nutrition, digestion and elimi- 
nation, according to the harmonious dictates of the mind. 

Some people devote themselves, to a great extent, to food; to eat- 
ing and drinking; they cultivate feelings of pleasure and joy when 
they are at the table, when they see the food. Men who have a 
strong development of Aliment iveness forget everything around; 
they never notice people; never look here nor there; they never 
have a newspaper in front of them; they never argue. They simply 
enjoy the food. They live in the food, they think food, feel 
food, have the very mind and soul in the food. When the soup 
comes they get the nose almost down into the soup plate, and en- 
joy it. They feel the soup in the very bones* The odor that 
comes from that soup strikes the nasal membrane, and penetrates in- 
to the very toes, so to speak. They are able to take up nutrition 
out of that soup, and that soup will do those men more good than a 



F-182 

plate of soup would do to a man who is sitting there and never knows 
what he is eating, sitting and reading his newspapers, or perhaps 
sitting and arguing with a bony man about politics. 

You must know your patient, whether he is the kind of a man who is 
interested in food, in eating, in drinking; whether he is able to 
cultivate food pleasure, food thoughts,-,, food joys, when he is at 
the table, A man, because he is doing that all of the time, is 
stout. That is why he measures fifty-eight inches around the equa- 
tor. When such a man gets food drunk from food stuffing, and we 
understand his condition, we understand also his disease, and the 
cause of his disease. And when we begin to prescribe for a man 
like him, and take him away from these food surroundings; also take 
nim away from those 1 , customary food tables, from those foods 1 ; when we 
make him work more, and give him different kinds of people at the 
dinner table, we cure that patient* 

We have two faculties in the brain which may, suitably, be called 
appetite. That which is called appetite is usually the result of 
those two faculties, viz-.,, Aliment iveness and Bibativeness. If a 
man is strongly developed in these areas of the brain, he is able to 
digest food to a greater extent, and to assimilate food substances 
of a certain nature* Alimentiveness is, primarily, the faculty of 
starch assimilation. The more strongly Aliment iveness is develop- 
ed, the more fond the man is of starchy foods, and the more able 
he will be to assimilate and digest starchy food substances. 
Starch metabolism is more perfect in a man like that» When a man 
has the Glycogenic center strongly developed, (Alimentiveness) , he 
is more capable of digesting and appropriating all sorts of starchy 
substances. 

The faculty, Alimentiveness, could be called the very center of 
starch metabolism. When the faculty is strongly developed, the 
person likes starch, he is able to digest starch and assimilate 
starch. All of those glands and secretions t that qualify a man to 
digest, appropriate and assimilate starch, are very active and 
strongly developed. 

That which we call appetite is nothing less than that feeling, or 
impulse that is at work at the dinner table, when a man sits down 
to eat his food. If we are weak in Alimentiveness, the liver is. 
small, the glycogenic center is weak, and we are bony; we sit at the 
table and look about and talk about all sorts of political ques- 
tions — we cannot handle, digest and appropriate starch. 

Y/hen we study man, we can say, as King David said, "We are fearful- 
ly and wonderfully made". It is just as true as true can be. We 
are all fearfully and wonderfully made. It is remarkable, when we 
study man, what an adaptation there is between the various facul- 
ties of the mind, and the various functions of the body. It is re- 
markable how the Almighty has arranged every faculty of the mind, 
as compared to functions, conditions, nerves and physical organs '. 
The adaptation is marvelous '. 

There is an adaptation between Alimentiveness and digestion and as- 
similation of all sorts of starchy substances. And in proportion 
aa that appetite becomes active, in that proportion will a man also 
store up in his body starchy substances*. He becomes, so to speak,

a starch man, or Nitropheric, or perhaps Carboferic. 

These two types, viz., the Nitrogen and the Carbon types, are two 
starch types. The only difference between the two is that there 
is a greater quantity of Nitrogen at work in the body in the Nitro- 
pheric. However, both of these types are starch types, and both 
of them also have that same faculty Alimentiveness powerfully de- 
veloped. 

Another kind of appetite is the liquid appetite. It comes from 
the faculty - Bibativeness. It has been said by a great many 
character analysts, that the faculty of Bibativeness is the very 
one of drunkenness. This is positively wrong, because the faculty 
Bibativeness is not ruling a man who likes strong drinks. You 
would be surprised, if you study men, to find that all men and 
women who have that area of the brain powerfully developed, never' 
care for strong drinks. They like mild drinks. Another thing 
about this kind of a man is that he is exceptionally conservative 
and careful in regard to any and all sorts of drinks, tonics. He 
is exceedingly prudent, has excellent judgment in regard to all 
sorts of drinks, tonics, beverages, fluids of every description. 
He exercises prudence in regard to all sorts of liquid substances 
and beverages. 

It is the man who has strong Destructiveness, Combativeness, a.nd 
Amativeness, who becomes the drunkard, goes to excess. He is the 
man who wants all sorts of poisonous drinks, liquors, tonics,, 
beverages, poisons, fiery condiments, and fiery drinks. They en- 
ter into his system until at last he ruins his liver with those 
fiery drinks and tonics, and not only the liver, but the heart; 
burns up the nerves and nerve ends; weakens the stomach, the gas- 
tric glands, the intestinal glands, and also his brain. At last 
he gets delirium tremens, and other diseases of a similar nature. 

But the man who has that liquid appetite, Bibativeness, is always 
more or less conservative and prudent in regard to eating and 
drinking. He never drinks too much at a time. He takes a glass 
of whatever it may be, some kind of juice, or perhaps beer, or 
perhaps some other tonic, or beverage, looks at it first, and so 
soon as he sees that glass of beverage he feels it all through; he 
can taste it merely by looking at it; he will say, "Is not that 
great? 11 he will talk about it and enjoy it; and make you feel as 
if you enjoy it also. 

This is an appetite, but is another kind of appetite. It is the 
liquid impulse, or impulse of absorption which is at work. It is 
that absorptive impulse, that liquid impulse, that is at work in 
his body; it is that very appetite and impulse that enables his 
system, his function, and the entire lymphatic mechanism in his 
body to take up, absorb and utilize liquids. The weaker a man is 
in the absorptive impulse, the less his capacity to hold liquids. 
Hence, the leaner a man, the more he perspires in times of heat* 



F-184" 

A" lean man, a man who does not have that impulse,, if he drinks- a 
glass of milk, or fruit juice, or distilled water, that very liquid 
comes out of every pore in his body, and he calls it perspiration. 
Why does he perspire so, and why is it that the other man can drink, 
drink, and drink and never perspire? He holds it. That absorbing, 
assimilating and utilising capacity is in that one faculty of the 
brain - Bibativeness. A man who has Bibatmveness powerfully devel- 
oped' will sip water, sip milk, or sip soup, and enjoy it* But if 
we are weak in that area of the brain, we do not have that same ab- 
sorptive capacity; we cannot utilize liquid substances, cannot hold 
them; we are compelled to part with them, and they will do us but 
little good. 

All of such conditions should be taken into consideration in regard 
to nursing, doctoring, and diet* You are a doctor. We will say 
that a man comes to you and wants to put on flesh. You will,, per- 
haps, put him on a heavy liquid diet. If he is a very lean man» 
and you find that he is very weak in Bibativeness, you put him on a 
heavy liquid diet; you tell him to drink plenty of water* If a 
man is weak in that very area of the brain; if he is dry and lean, 
you may be sure that you can never, never put flesh on that man by 
placing him on a heavy liquid diet, because, in order to digest and 
assimilate, and hold liquid substances, he must first have that area 
of the brain strongly developed, and if we do not have that area of 
the brain strongly developed, or he does not have that area of the 
brain strongly developed, he will never be able to take up, hold, 
organize it into his system. Hence, if you want to put flesh on 
such a man, feed him as he should be fed* not through Bibativeness 
and liquids. 

If he has Amativeness strong, feed him fatty substances through Ama- 
tiveness; if he has Alimentiveness strong; feed him through the 
starch appetite; if he is a bony man, feed him through Calcium; if 
he has the Cerebellum especially developed, or is a Myogenic man, 
and you want to put flesh on him, feed him through the cerebellum 
and through the muscles, and give him just that kind of muscle- 
building material which the muscles require, and you will succeed 
in each case* 

If we remember such conditions in regard to the construction of man, 
and the various faculties, we will have a deeper insight into nutri- 
tion, assimilation, diet* We would never put a very lean man on a 
liquid diet, because we know that if we introduce liquids - to excess 
into that man, we will make him more sick than before-* 

We sometimes speak of volition. Volition is nothing else than 
will* Uhat is will anyway? Is it possible that the will may be 
divided", or that we have different kinds of will? I think so. 
Some of us have that kind of will that never acts without it is op- 
posed* Maybe you have no will, until someone opposes you. When 
somebody tells you, you cannot do this, you find out that you have a 
will; when somebody pushes against you, you push back; when somebody 
clinches his fist in your face, you clinch your fist also. There 
is one faculty that is at the foundation of this, and it is that 
one area situated behind the ear - Combat iveness. The man who has 
that area powerfully developed is ready. Push a clinched fist in- 
to his face, and he begins to experience resistive will, impulses,, 
and the more he is opposed the more he experiences that kind of will*

impulses and feelings. 

That kind of a will we call Executive. There are two kinds of ex- 
ecutive agencies in a man; one is the cerebellar impulse - this is 
also executive. This faculty, or area of the brain, is so con- 
structed that it is self-executive; it leads to business with the 
executive impulse* The only real executive man is the one who 
has that faculty strongly developed. The other executives as, for 
instance, muscular executive, are not men of battle, not men of 
fight, not men of opposition, they are simply men to carry out, to 
act for other people. But the cerebellar executive is the man for 
an emergency. Now an impulse of that kind makes a man feel that - 
"I can do anything; I can do everything". And you will find such 
men have that faculty and that area of the brain strong. You will 
find that they are another kind of men, and you will find that they 
are never, never plungers. 

Another thing about these men is that they absorb the Calcium ele- 
ment. They are bone— builders, they take up the tri-Calcium phos- 
phates, found in the body. They have large cheek-bones, a broad, 
square chin* a wide head behind the ears, stron£ development of 
the brain in the Parietal section* They are men of energy, of ac- 
tion, of execution, of courage, of daring, of executive power; al- 
so men of bone. 

They assimilate those strong calcic substances, the phosphatic sub- 
stances. They are able to take up for their bones and the more 
solid tissues, all sorts of calcic material, phosphatic material, 
so as to build very strong and powerful bones. Therefore, that kind 
of an executive, of cerebellar and volitive impulse, is courageous, 
strong, positive in nature and characteristics. They are bony 
executives. 

These are the will impulses that build bone. These men have 
strong throats. When they talk, they can let the voice out; they 
can fill an entire hall with their voice. Alexander the Great, 
and Abraham Lincoln, had tremendous voices, because such men build 
a large and strong throat. They can talk for 365 days, twelve 
hours a day, and' never tire. They can talk so loud that they can 
be heard at tremendous distances. The will faculties enable a 
man to do that, and those are the faculties that enable a man to 
carry out, or to do, that which we want to do* 

When a man has a faculty like this strong, it has its influence up- 
on him* When he is at the table, he does not get down into the 
soup plate; he does not know what he has before him, it is placed 
there and he looks at it, but does not see it; when he does take a. 
bite he does not masticate his food; he is in a rush; he boasts 
that he can eat his supper, or dinner, in two and one-half minutes. 
T5hat kind of eating do you think that will be? And what kind of 
food substances does that man assimilate? Calcium. He takes up 
tri-Calcium phosphates, and because he takes them up he is a bony 
man. 



F-186 

If you want 'to put flesh onto that man, would you put him oh a 
starch diet,- or do you think he ought to have a liquid diet, or a 
fruit diet, or do you think he ought to live en vegetables and 
greens, cr should he have a nut diet? If you want to make that man 
fleshy you must feed" him through Calcium; and you must make that exe- 
cutive impulse behave itsei^. Take the papers a^ay from a man like 
t'hat; take all those men who want to argue with him, away from him; 
give him one of those easy-going men who have a strong appetite; give 
him that kind of a wife to call him to his senses all of the time, 
ana you will put flesh en him,, and cure him, in the course of time. 

Co to his home and sit at the dinner table and see how he eats and 
drinks - , and what he eats at the table, and what he talks about. 
All impulses, emotions, passions, feelings of joy, feelings of opti- 
mism, feelings of pessimism, or whatever they may be, have their in- 
fluence upon nutrition and assimilation. 

We have other impulses, for instance, the cerebellum; another brain 
srea immediately aronnd the ears; also Destructiveness , which is 
aometimes powerfully developed. What, in a. man, enables him to 
build muscle? What is it in your daughter that makes her so weak, 
useless, helpless? Why is it that she has that kind of trouble af- 
ter she is married and becomes a mother? It is because she is too 
weak in the cerebellum. Why is it that she is so delicate and al- 
ways complaining, and why is it that you are compelled to pay out 
your money to doctors and specialists all of the time? It is be- 
cause she is weak in that one area of the brain. The cerebellum 
builds muscles, both the voluntary and the involuntary, and when it 
1? strongly developed, great capacity of protein metabolism exists. 

You have heard a great deal about protein, a great deal also about 
muscles* There we have the muscular man, i.e., the protein man* 
If you want to build up muscles, you must first find out how strong 
the cerebellum is. If you are going to place a man on a protein 
diet, first find out how strongly developed the cerebellum is* A 
man who has a weak cerebellum, should never be placed on a heavy pro- 
tein diet. That girl, that you want to build up, you must never 
place on a heavy protein diet, perhaps only possibly one and one-half 
percent protein is all that that young girl can digest. If you \ ... 
place a delicate child on a heavy protein diet, perhaps on food ar- 
ticles containing all the way from sixteen percent up to possibly 
twenty-six percent, she will become protein drunk; protein poisoned, 
protein stuffed; full of protein albuminous poisons, and you may 
never be able to cure her, nor to build her up* Perhaps you will 
bury her long before she is forty years of age, or pershaps she will 
die at the time of delivery. You should be very, very careful in 
regard to a girl like that. 

When a man is powerfully developed in the cerebellum, what an effi- 
cient muscular man he is* There are muscles, there is strength- 
He does not need an :.&'fthletic club, nor gymnastic exercises. Let 
a. man who has a. strong cerebellum take all sorts of protein material, 
that is the one who needs a protein diet. There you have an active 
man, there you have a man who can work eighteen, perhaps twenty 
hours a day, efficiently } from morning till night* and seldom gets 
tired. He is a protein man, because of a very strong cerebellum.

There is another kind of volitive impulse. These faculties and 
areas in the brain are volitive, and one qualifies a man to absorb, 
to eat, to digest, to appropriate, all sorts of protein material, 
and to build an efficient muscular system, and, as we said before, 
those two brain centres - Combativeness and Firmness - are bone- 
builders. 

You cannot build muscle simply by physical culture. If you have a 
strong cerebellum, then you can build muscle if you go there. Then 
you can build muscle even if you close yourself up in a basement, 
or elsewhere. But never give a Calcium man very heavy protein ma- 
terial, because if you do, he will suffer from auto-intoxication. 
You know protein and albumin material which we cannot take care of, 
will decay in our intestines, and generate poisonous substances in 
the intestines, until we suffer from protein poisons, and from 
auto-intoxication; and so long as we keep on with that diet no doc- 
tot will be able to cure us. 

These areas that we have gone over now are masculine areas* A* man 
is supposed to have those areas strongly developed, and in propor- 
tion as the}?- are powerfully developed and nourished, is he a real 
man. They are the faculties that make him a man. We say, some- 
times, "Be a man 11 . Well, he cannot be a man without those facul- 
ties strongly developed. It is not enough to start with the food, 
we must start in the brain, with habits, with certain kind of exer- 
cises, certain kind of thoughts. If you want to develop Comba- 
tiveness, you must say to yourself all of the time, "I can do any- 
thing I please, and I am going to do it' 1 - If you tell yourself 
that there is not a man living that can lick you, you are develop- 
ing that, and because you are developing that you become more and 
more courageous, stronger, more and more enterprising, take up tri~ 
Calcium phosphate to a greater extent. Tell yourself that, lt I am 
a powerful man", and you will find how you straighten up right 
away. Tell yourself, "I do not know anything, I am a weakling, I 
can do nothing, and so long as you feel like that, and think like 
that, and act like th&t, you will cultivate certain habits, and by 
reason of those facts, and habits, and impulses, you will be unable 
to take up that material which is necessary for the development of 
manhood, and strong masculine qualities* 

It is impossible to become courageous so long as we tell ourselves 
that we are weak. We must forget weakness, we must forget nega- 
tive qualities; simply tell ourselves that we are able. You know, 
we should do that also in our prayers. We have no right to go to- 
God and tell Him that we are worms. He made us men, we should 
praise Him for what we are; we must not tell Him we are earth 
worms, that we are no good; this is not a very good compliment to 
Him. A"nd we must tell ourselves that also, because we must abso- 
lutely feel that we can do things. We must be able to meet any 
man and any woman, and act like a man. 

That is what we should be able to do* that is what we can do, if we 
will only cultivate that kind of impulses. Then, there will be 



■^ 



F-188 

enterprise, courage and efficiency, greater masculinity, resolution, 
determination; a stronger soul and stronger bones. 

We come to another set of feelings, or faculties. An impulse is 
almost the same as instinct. It simply acts in a certain way and 
that is all. This is what the Cerebellum does* acts in a certain 
v;ay but does not know that it acts that way. VShenever the mind 
acts without knowing it is acting, it is impulse, and when a man is 
acting without knowing what he is doing, he is moved by impulse. 

However, here we deal with faculties. Faculties know what they 
are doing. They are self-conscious. Here we have Ideality t 
Veneration, Benevolence, Approbativeness, Sublimity, Conscientious- 
ness, and Spirituality, - all emotional faculties. Emotions, re- 
ligious emotions, idealistic emotions, spiritual emotions, humani- 
tarian emotions, cosmic emotions, as we may call them, such emotions 
are more or less feminine. 

When these emotions are powerfully active in the brain of a. lady, 
she is more religious, more spiritualized, more respectful, she is 
neater, she is tidy, cleanly , dresses better, and because she has 
all of these emotional impulses or faculties at work, she is .assimi- 
lating a different kind of food material. The religious man, or 
the religious lady, I do not care what she eats or drinks, her soul 
is such, her mind is such, her impulses are such, i.e., the physi- 
cal nutritive impulses are such, that she does not take up anything 
else than just that which belongs in her system. 

You know what God said to Peter when He sent down some meat and 
told Peter that he should eat. Peter said, n I have never taken 
anything unclean"-, and God said to him, "That which I have made 
clean is not unclean; arise Peter, slaughter and eat 1 *. God knew 
positively that, because Peter was a religious man,, that, which he 
ate could not possibly do him any harm. He knew that Peter *s sys- 
tem was such that it would take up nothing else than those sub- 
stances that were 'favorable to the development of Peter himself. . 
And so it is also with a religious lady. If she eats something 
unclean, her system cannot take it up. 

A religious man, or woman, usually always likes nuts, fruits,, ber- 
ries and certain cereals* Fruit is the diet for the religious 
man. If you read the Bible, you find that, in the beginning when 
God made Adam and Eve, He placed them in the Garden of Eden, and 
there was all sorts of fruit there for them to eat; so they lived 
on a fruit diet. And because they had a fruit diet, they were 
more clean, or perfect in instinct, sentiment, inclination. I 
mean by this, that a fruit diet feeds the emotions. 

Emotions are strong feelings, usually of a spiritual, of a religi- 
ous, of an idealistic, or of a humanitarian nature. They are the 
emotions that constitute the soul* Without the emotions, a man 
would be nothing but an animal; without emotions a. man would have 
no soul, because the emotions are the soul. The more strongly de- 
veloped the emotions are, the more particular and exclusive the man 
becomes in regard to his diet.

STA TE ON FOODS. 

The nut and the fruit diet is the best diet for religious and ide*- 
alistic people - people who live in the emotions* V/hen we speak 
of the emotions we do not have reference to sentiment, but rather 
to that part of the mind which lives in the higher section of the 
spiritual, moral, idealistic, artistic, humanitarian and cosmic 
sections of the brain. Those emotions, when they are strongly ac- 
tive, will lead a man upwardly. They will also lead him away from 
a heavy protein diet. 

A protein diet is principally a meat diet. Almost all people who 
are strongly developed in the upper section of the brain, are usual- 
ly vegetarians, opposed to a meat diet, and to a heavy protein diet, 
They think that it is unclean. Of course, this is nothing but 
feelings, it is the way a man feels. Just because we think, or 
say that a thing is unclean, is no sign that it is unclean. Emo- 
tional people are always interested in such nice artistic dishes 
that you sometimes find at the vegetarian restaurant. But when a 
man has considerable bone in his body, he wants something to chew 
on; he wants something that contains Calcium. He cannot maintain 
his integrity and strength on vegetarian diet. Neither does such 
a man care very much for candy, cake, nor any kind of artistic 
dishes. But that is exactly what a man, or woman, or child, wants 
who is strongly developed in the artistic part of the brain. A* 
strong development in the artistic region indicates a delicately 
constituted organization throughout, delicate fingers, an almost 
shiny forehead and skin, fingers that you can see through, almost 
translucent; fine, delicate, soft hair; tender skin, highly devel- 
oped, fine, delicate in constitution, tissue and person. There is 
a person that a slight blow may kill, one who cannot possibly with- 
stand all sorts of climatic changes, who cannot stand odors, chemi- 
cal fumes, factory odors, disease odors, one who cannot stand, or 
who does not care for alopathic, or poison, drugs; one who is bet- 
ter cured by homeopathic drugs. Such a person is governed a great 
deal by suggestion. You can, perhaps, cure her with your sugges- 
tions. She should not eat starch, sweets, meat proteins, carbo- 
hydrates, nor a great deal of liquid substances. She requires, 
principally, a light vegetable diet, or easily digested greens, 
vegetables, together with fruit, berries and nuts. 

She always lacks Iron. She has that anemic skin that is always 
pallid and fine in construction, almost like tissue paper. She is 
delicately organized and constructed, with tender tissue. Do not 
give her heavy drugs, and do not operate on her, and do not give 
her animal protein. She thrives best on a fruit diet. But you 
must not give her apples, because she is exceedingly sensitive to 
malic acid, found in apples. She needs Phosphorus in abundance, 
but not malic acid. I wish I could have a look at the Garden of 
Eden, so that I could see what kind of fruits grew in Eden. Vfoat 
kind of peaches they had, and whether they had apples that were 
full of malic acid. I do not know why it is that there should be 
so much malic acid in apples. It would be an excellent fruit, 
were it not for the malic acid. 



r-190 

Fruit" is a. greatly evoluted food', especially berries. Give a per- 
son of the emotional type, strong in the emotional areas, a berry 
diet, plenty of berries, the more berries the better, and the sooner 
you cure her. Berries do not contain malic acid, as a rule. 

There are many varieties of pears, and almost all varieties are ex- 
cellent. Here is one point you should remember in regard to peo- 
ple of a delicate organization, and that is — the ability to take up 
salts" is always weak, the mesentery and bowels, the mesentery glands 
and the nerve plexuses, are all weak and delicate organs in a person 
of that type* 

There are three or four apple varieties that are comparatively free 
from malic acid. The Astrachan, Belleflower, Jonathan, Delicious, . 
are almost entirely free from malic acid. 

People of this construction should become acquainted with all sorts 
of fruits' that do not carry malic acid, nor tartaric acid. Tar- 
taric acid and malic acid are very bad on organizations like that. 
If they eat fruit containing tartaric acid and malic acid, they suf- 
fer from various kinds of nervous diseases. 

I believe that, if we had a sanitarium for criminals, where they 
could associate with the most perfectly developed religious, eomo- 
tional people, and then give them the right kind of food, they would 
develop the higher, the religious sentiments. I believe we could 
cure criminals more successfully, through a right diet, association, 
etc., than by placing the poor criminals in jail. I believe that, 
as long as we hang criminals we cannot uplift civilization. So 
long as we let the criminal eat any kind of food, especially the 
kind he likes to eat, we cannot expect that poor man to live a bet- 
ter life. He simply feeds the lower faculties; he lives, so to 
speak, in hell, already. 

You know there are certain departments in the brain, that correspond 
pretty well to heaven and hell. The criminal already lives in hell. 
Fiery foods are what the criminal craves, dried beef, condiments, all 
sorts of strong, stimulating and burning foods. There is fire in 
the hell of the brain, and that fire must be fed. Criminals always 
want something that burns, something hot, something stimulating* 
Alcohol burns. The more poisons and the more by-products there are 
in the man, the more it feeds that area of the brain that is inter- 
ested in poisons. He likes morphine - that is the morphine fiend. 
He is the one who likes all sorts of stimulating and alcoholic 
tonics and drinks. F/hen a man lives in the base of the brain, he 
likes stimulants, tonics, alcoholic beverages, dried mea.t, all sorts 
of focd containing poisons of some kind; - the more he swears, the 
more energetic his tongue is, the more he lives in the appetites, 
and the less he goes to church, the less he believes in heaven, the 
less he cares for ministers of the Gospel, and the less attention 
he pays to the bible; all because he does not live in the tophead 
faculties, but in the base of the brain. Hence, he craves fiery 
food;substances to feed those very areas of the brain. 

A man who lives in the tophead lives on fruits, berries, nuts, light 
meals, soft, tender vegetables. Hence, he feeds that kind of fa- 
culties. He has a different development of the brain, a different 
skin, different functions, different features, and different

emotions. He has a larger soial, because this is the soul area - 
the tophead. I do not know why, but I am a little afraid for a 
man who has no tophead — he may, possibly, never live after death, 
and perhaps never go to heaven. There is a peculiar thing about a 
man if he does not have a tophead, i.e., he does not believe in 
heaven, nor in hell, nor in anything relating to the spiritual part 
of man, and his diet is according thereto. There is a reason, for 
one man is wicked and another man is good; a reason why one man be- 
comes a criminal, and another becomes a saint. We pay too much at- 
tention to heredity and not enough attention to diet.. * We seldom 
speak of the influence of diet on mind, nor of the influence of the 
mind upon diet. 

When we live in the higher and nobler faculties, in the soul facul- 
ties of the brain, we begin to prepare for heaven. We are then 
willing to forgive each other, to sympathize with others, willing to 
listen to what other people have to say; but if we drink alcoholic 
drinks of all sorts, alcoholic wines, and take stimulants, poisons, 
morphine, and live on all sorts of meats containing by-products , we 
will not develop these higher and nobler faculties, nor improve the 
soul. The soul, it is often said, is nothing but emotions^ - Take 
love and emotion out of man and what is left? VJhat would you give 
for a man who has no love, no emotion? He would be a soulless man- 
There are some men who, seemingly, have a. heart but no soul; some 
men who have a soul, but no heart, so to speak. Some men have. - 
reason, wonderful reason, are geniuses in reason, yet they have no 
heart, no soul. They are scientists, great scientists, great . 
figurers, great reason ers. They know everything about the creation 
of the world, but when it is a question of anything that relates to 
the spiritual man, they do not care anything for it, they do no-t be- 
lieve in heaven, nor in a hereafter. They do not believe in any- 
thing else than just what they can reason out and understand. The\ 
eat materialistic food too. 

A fruit diet would not be suited to constitutions like that. If 
we live on a fruit diet, or a diet of fruit and nuts and nothing 
else, I am afraid we would become too spiritual; we would have very 
little bone. The religious, emotional, sympathetic, humanitarian, 
spiritualistic, artistic, or cosmic lady, with her excellent devel- 
opment, is so fine that she can hardly live. VShan we are nothing 
but emotion, and we feel all these emotions constantly, we become 
comparatively boneless. If we then give rise to offspring, they 
are just cherubs, but they cannot very well live; they must go to 
heaven where they belong. 

It is difficult for these highly developed, genius-like children to 
live here, because they cannot get the diet which they crave. They 
are too highly evolufced. They have gone beyond the evolution of 
this earth. They may eat fruit and berries of all sorts r but it 
does not help; they become weaker and weaker in bone, muscle and in 
vital organs, and become hardly nothing but brain. At last they 
become Neurogenic in Constitution, and unusual. The head is very 
strongly developed in the sub-coronal, and then the neck is a little 



F-192 

stera; they are like balloons; at last they sail up to the spirit 
sphere, where they belong. They do not have a very strong hold on 
earth. There is nothing to hold them to the earth; they naturally 
gravitate upwardly, because they are topheavy. 

I think, so long as we are living on this earth, we should be a lit- 
tle earthy, or, in other words, we should have some of the Calcium .' 
in our bone, muscle, and vital tissue, so that we may go on a little 
further, otherwise we will die out. 

K woman who has developed a high tophead, a. very strong development 
in the temples, who has a small face, the eye set low in the face, 
who has a small neck, small slender hands and fingers, of almost 
boneless tissue, and a fineness of the skin, is not adapted to this 
earth. The man who marries her will have no companionship, and if 
he has any children, he may bury them all, and bury his wife also,, 
before he is forty years of age. He has accomplished nothing, be- 
cause he was dealing with an angel. 

Many people are of that very type, Neurogenic, idealistic, humani- 
tarian. They are interested in all sorts of idealistic develops 
ment, evolution. Spiritistic and spiritual is what they are in- 
terested in. They. are almost in communication with the spirit 
world. Such a man has peculiar ideas and peculiar notions. 

Such a^ man often has his pockets full of apples, and his brain full 
of spooks. When a man has a strong development of the emotional 
areas of the brain, he requires a fruit, berry, and nut diet,, also 
soft vegetables and greens. But that does not mean that we should 
give him nothing else. We should give him something with his fruits 
that his appetite does not want. If a man is a bony man, for in- 
stance, we should supply other elements in his diet along with Cal- 
cium. You can smuggle the food that is lacking into a man, smug- 
gle it into a child, smuggle it into the delicate lady, and thus 
you can build each up, make each stronger, so he becomes more and 
more equalized. This is exactly what the man should, be I He 
should be equalized, i.e., he should be proportionate. 

If we do not have enough muscle, there is something wrong; if we are 
made of nothing but muscles, there is something wrong again. If 
there is nothing but organized water, there is something wrong again, 
and if we are made of nothing but protein, as , for instance, a bear, 
something is wrong again. If we are made of nothing but fatty as, • 
for instance, the hog, there is something wrong. If we are made up 
of nothing but Phosphorous substances, so that we look like ghosts 
or frozen moonshine, there is something wrong again. 

This is what we should remember in regard to nutrition, in regard 
to diet of emotional people, viz., that we should feed them through 
the emotions. We should give them a fruit, berry and nut diet, with' 
some soft and tender vegetable and greens, and then we should smug-' 
gle into them, along with these very food substances, some solid 
food substance as well* and at the same time, give them that kind of 
air and associates, that have a tendency to develop them. This 
would give them better offspring; they would think more of their 
wives, or husbands; when they go to heaven, they would have accom- 
plished greater tasks, because of that development. If we are like 
spooks in muscle, brain, nerve and bone, or if we are boneless like

a spook, we do not have very much spiritual efficiency, no physi- 
cal efficiency, nor ani/ kind of efficiency.

When- the sentiment, (Parental Love), is very active, the person *s 
tongue is hungry for sugar. Then those centres and areas in the 
tongue which are sugar areas, (every woman, and all feminine men 
have areas in the tongue that are hungry for sugar), are active. 
This is the sugar faculty, "the sugar consumer. The stronger Pa- 
rental love is in the wife,- the more sugar she uses, the more sugar 
she puts into the food, the more sugar she eats. If she is mar- 
ried to a Calcium man, she puts sugar into the food to such an ex- 
tent that she grows stouter and stouter, and he grows leaner and 
leaner, and finally he dies of dyspepsia. 

Children live in the abdominal centres, in the lymphatic system; 
the lymphatic centres and organs in the "body are most active in 
children, and also in many women. The more sugar a woman eats, 
the more active the sympathetic system becomes. If she is of a 
vital type, she is likely to build out the central section of her 
body, she tapers .from the center down, and from the center up. A 
man slopes the other way. ' A man who is a bone-builder slopes from 
the shoulders to his feet, like a wedge. If a man has wide hips, 
large hips, small shoulders,, short arms, and short lower limbs, and 
a very long body, he takes after his mother. We know he is femi- 
nine, and that he has that same sugar tooth" You will see a man 
like that buy candy. He has a candy box in his pocket every now 
and then. You see him in the street car take out the box of candy 
and eat.' 'Those men are feminine. You take a masculine man, or a 
bony man, who builds bone, and who lives much on foods of tri- 
Calcium phosphate, and that same man never craves for candy, sweets, 
sugar, or sugary foods. If these foods are introduced into his 
diet much, he will get sick and you cannot cure him. Therefore, 
also, you should go home with your patient and see what kind of a • 
wife he has, and how much sugar is introduced into his diet. 

The mental attitudes, the will, the reason, the intellect, in fact, 
all of the faculties are more strongly developed in one man, less 
active in another man. These are the faculties that we should re- 
member when it is a question of diet. When a man. or a woman, is 
strongly developed in the sympathetic faculties, she likes sugar 
and sugary foods. She can assimilate sugary foods. Her sympathe- 
tic system always is more active. 

There is another faculty - Amativeness - which is the generative 
centre, the reproductive centre, the foundation of sexual life. 
When it is strongly developed, it enables a man to assimilate, di- 
gest and hold fatty food substances. 

A person who suffers from self-abuse, ' has weakened the faculty of 
Amativeness, the entire sexual system, and should avoid all sorts 
of fats, to the extent of leaving only about from one to about 
three -percent 'in his diet. Foods that contain 8$, 10%, 15%, 25%, 
even 60$, 80$, perhaps even 90$ or 100$ of fat, may kill such a 



F-194 

patient. He may be lean and haggard, greatly in need of fatty 
food substances, but his capacity for the metabolism of fats has 
been weakened. Develop his sexuality before you put him on the 
Hydro-carbons:* 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: 

1- LENGTH O F L IFE OF BODY; Do we have a new heart every thirty 
days, and who is the authority? 

A. —Yes. J. Norman Steele is the authority. He says in 
"•Chemistry" , page 36, as follows: tl A man weighing one hundred and 
fifty pounds has fifty-four pounds of muscle. This will be burned 
in about eighty days of ordinary labor. As the heart works day and 
night it burns out in about one month, so that we have a literal new 
heart every thirty days. Our bodies dissolve and in time melt away, 
and only the shadow of our bodies can be called our own. We are 
like the flame of a lamp which appears for a long time the same, 
since it is ceaselessly fed as it ceaselessly melts away. The ra- 
pidity of this change in our bodies is remarkable." 

Dr. Draper says: "-Let a man abstain from water and food for an hour, 
and the balance will prove that he has become lighter." 

"This action of Oxygen" , says Steele, "So destructive, wasting us 
away constantly from birth to death, is yet essential to our exis- 
tence. Why is this? Here is the glorious paradox of life. We 
live only as we die. The moment we cease dying we cease living."- 

If the muscles will burn out in about eighty days of ordinary labor, 
a, man practically has a new muscular system every eighty days. 

The stomashi, the lung, and the brain, being a little more resistive, 
will wear out, nevertheless, in about forty days, unless they are 
supplied with nutrition. Again, Professor Berzelius tells us, in 
his work on Chemistry, that the bones, if not nourished, would be 
used up in a living man in about seven years. The bones, however, 
after solidifying, or after a man is dead, would last many thousand 
years, according to the assertions of a great number of chemists. • 
Another chemist says that the life of a cell is six weeks, so that 
if there were no cells built at all, the bod}?- would soon melt away. 
This is the reason why we should eat and drink and breathe, so that 
we may supply that which is essential to our existence.

LECTURE NOTES. COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. QUESTION S & ANSWE RS. 

I- CHIROPRACTO RS - O STEOPATHS: Have the chiropractors and Osteo- 
paths any" sound scientific basis for their claims to cure diseases? 
Or for their systems of cure? Which of the two systems has the 
better scientific basis for its claims? What is the difference 
between the two? 

A. - Yes; when there is pressure on any nerve in the body, or when 
there is tension in some special part of the body, that nerve must 
be released, and that tension must be removed. Chiropractors and 
Osteopaths, and also others practicing along the same lines, are 
human mechanics, so to speak, They release the nerves and remove 
the pressure and the tension. As far as I understand it, the 
Chiropractor and the Osteopath are approximately the same, so far 
as effect is concerned. In fact, Chiropractic is in reality Os- 
teopathy under another name. There is no difference between the 
two, except in a minor way. 

&• DRY CA TARRH : Can dry catarrh be cured by a proper diet? Is 
it contagious or infectious? 

A* - Dry catarrh is caused by germs that lodge somewhere in the 
nasal canals, or in the throat, or perhaps even in the lungs. It 
can be cured best by the right kind of a climate and high altitude, 
where the air is fresh and breezy, and where there is a great deal 
of ozone in the atmosphere. It can also be helped by electric 
light treatments, and by massage. 

3. COCOANUT BUTTER - COCOANUT: Does nut butter made of cocoanut 
have food value in the same way as raw cocoanuts? If so, how do 
they compare in value? 

A. - Yes, butter made of cocoanut has a food value, just as raw 
cocoanuts have a value as a food. The butter made of cocoanut 
does not compare with the raw cocoanut in value, because, in taking 
the butter out of cocoanut, other manufacturing processes and chem- 
icals enter in. 

4 - N UT BUTTERS - OLEOS - ANIMAL FATS: How does nut butter compare 
in value with oleos and butters made from animal fats? 

A. — Nut butter is a very good butter and compares very well in va- 
lue with butter made of oleos or oleic oil, or those made from ani- 
mal fats. Nut fat is oleic fat. 

5 " DIET - INFLUENZA: VJhat foods should be eaten by a person suf- 
fering from an attack of Spanish Influenza? Could a diet be pre- 
scribed to prevent such an attack? 

A. - When a person suffers from Spanish Influenza he should intro- 
duce the blood salts in abundance. Eat those foods containing the 
blood salts. Drink the juice from baked lemons, as warm as possi- 
ble, and drink this juice every fifteen minutes until the system 
is saturated with lemon juice. He should also have Osteopathic 
treatments „ especially for the respiratory centers, and he should 



F-196 

have treatment of the chest* A prescribed diet would not prevent 
such an attack. Spanish Influenza is caused" by germ toxins. 

6 » CURE - INFLUE NZA : Gould a diet be prescribed to cure Spanish In- 
fluenza without other treatment? 

A. - Spanish Influenza is very dangerous and affects the muscular 
system or the cerebellum. The patient should have treatment as 
soon as possible. Osteopathy is more successful in treating . 
Spanish Influenza, or "Flu" than the regular doctor. The Osteo- 
paths did not lose very many patients who had the "Flu", but the 
regular doctors lost nearly se/enty percent of their cases. 

7 * HI VES - BLACKBERRIES - TANNIC ACID: When eating blackberries 
grown on a soil possibly containing more or less Iron - clearly a 
clay loam — causes an outbreak of hives, what does this indicate? 

A. — If eating blackberries or blackberry juice causes an outbreak 
of hives, the system is very low in Iron. There is also tannic 
acid in blackberries and blackberry juice, and this tannic acid has 
a great deal to do, also, with an outbreak of hives. 

8 * HIVES - O&TMEAL: What does an outbreak of hives following the 
eating of oatmeal indicate? 

A. - If there is an outbreak of hives after eating oatmeal, the di- 
gestive system is weak. 

9 » GR INDI NG GRAIN AT HOME: What is the best method and simplest* 
of grinding barley, wheat, or other grains, at home, so as to be 
sure of getting the whole grain? 

A* — The simplest, the cheapest, and the most effective method of 
grinding barley, wheat, or other grains, at home, is to buy a grind- 
ing mill. This can be bought for a few dollars, perhaps ten, fif- 
teen dollars and up, depending upon the size of the mill. If peo- 
ple would buy the mills, and each person would prepare their own 
cereals, it would favor the public health very much. 

10. SLEEPING SICKNESS': Is Sleeping Sickness one of the causes of 

lack of Manganese? 

A. - Sleeping sickness is caused by inflammation of the brain. 

11 • CAUSE OF GOITRE: Why, in certain Alpic countries, like German 
Austria, and certain parts of Switzerland, do the majority of people 
have goitre? Is this due to the lack of Iodin. 

A. — One cause of goitre is lack of Iodin, whether it be in Austria, 
Germany, Switzerland, or anywhere else. There are other causes of 
goitre, however. 

12, ADENOIDS; Would an Iodin Diet cure enlarged adenoids? 

A. — No.

LECTURE NOTES . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 

13 "« SYPHILITIC TAINT - CURE : How does the Medeic kill the syphi- 
litic germ within the body? How can we cure syphilis after the 
Medeic is through? 

A. - The doctor kills the syphilitic germ with arsenic and mercury, 
very strong and drastic poisons. The Medeic impurity, or taint, 
can be driven out by a. correct diet, especially a diet that is 
rich in Fluor in, Sodium, Sulphur, and certain oils found in such 
foods that we recommend for that very condition. 

14. MERCURY-ARSENIC AFFECT : How does mercury administered to 
syphilitic patients, affect the Fluorin in the body? Has not 
much of the damage ascribed to syphilis been caused by the mercury 
administered to cure the same? 

A. - You are perfectly right in saying that much of the damage 
ascribed to syphilis has been caused by the administration of the 
mercury and of arsenic. That kind of poison affects almost every 
function in the body. 

15". DIPHTHERIC - CURE : In order to cure Diphtheria is the supply 
of Fluorin the main thing? What else would assist to cure that 
disease? 

A. — Supply Fluorin in abundance and also a liberal supply of 
pineapple juice. Gargle the throat with pineapple juice. This 
is, perhaps, the very best method of overcoming Diphtheria. How- 
ever, we must not wait, for the Diphtheria germ increases very ra- 
pidly. We must not give the germ any peace, but we must make it 
very uncomfortable at the very beginning, so that it cannot in- 
crease and establish a dangerous disease. 

16. SKIN ERUPTION S: When eruptions of skin appear on. a nursing 
child's face, is it the mother who is required to change diet? 
Please explain the best thing to be done in such a case. 

A. - When eruptions appear on the skin of a nursing baby the fault 
is with the mother and her diet, or else the fault is with the 
washing and cleansing of the baby. A mother should be placed up- 
on a diet that is very rich in Calcium, Sodium, Chlorin, Iron,, or 
in all of the tissue salts and the blood salts. Otherwise the 
baby will suffer from internal and external ailments. 

17. VARICOSE ULCERS - SLuICON : TJhat do you consider the primary 
cause of varicose ulcers? Is it lack of Silicon? 

A. - When varicose ulcers appear, it is a positive sign of lack of 
Silicon. Of course, it is perfectly true that internal heat will 
aggravate this condition also. 

18. SHELL-SHOCK - G AS: Hhat organs are affected in shell-shock 
and gassing? How do you cure these conditions with diet, etc.? 



■ ■ 



F-L9S 

A. — In shell-shock the vibration of the brain cells has been too 
great, and if the patient has inhaled gas to excess, it is very dif- 
ficult to cure such a condition with diet. Of course it will help, 
but rest is more important, 

19. MAGN ESIUM - LOCATION IN BODY: Why does the Magnesium locate 
in the shoulder of lamb and not in the other parts as much? 

A. —Magnesium does not locate in any part of the body, but it acts 
more on some parts of the body than it acts on other parts. If a 
dentist uses mercury, the mercury in that tooth does not affect the 
tooth, nor the nerves, but it affects the digestion and produces 
chronic indigestion. That is, the indigestion can never be cured 
until the mercury is removed' from the teeth. This effect is indi- 
rect, and so it is also with Magnesium. 

20. GOAT MILK: If mother li s milk from a coffee fiend is nothing but 
coffee milk, how about the goat which is fed on hay and kept in cap- 
tivity? Would not that milk be robbed of the natural salts which 
the goat should supply from the natural sources? 

A. - You are perfectly right in .concluding that the milk from a 
goat which is fed on hay and kept in captivity would be affected* 
and robbed' of the natural salts. This is the very reason why, if 
anyone keeps a goat or a cow, or any animal, he should see to it 
that the source of the food supply is in a good condition, and that 
everything around that same animal is in a first-class condition. 

21. WHEN TO EAT GRAPEFRUIT: Is it better to eat Grapefruit in the 
morning or evening? First in the meal or last? 

A. — The best time to eat grapefruit is at the time it is needed. 
This may be in the morning or in the evening, or it may be both. It 
may be in between meals, or it may be when a person is very thirsty. 

22. UNDERSIZED. TEETH: What characteristic is indicated when a man 
aged thirty has teeth which are smaller than ordinary baby teeth, 
and far apart? (Vegetarian.) 

A. - If the teeth of a man at the age of thirty are too small, it 
simply indicates that when he was young and the teeth were forming, 
he did not have the right kind of a diet, and therefore his teeth 
were &ot supplied with the right kind of teeth— building material. 

23. I ODIN DIET : A young woman with goiter, or seemingly a large 
thyroid gland, was given Iodin medicinally. At 26 years of age 
she has ceased to menstruate. h Should she, or should she not, eat 
Iodin foods? Will they restore ovarian function, or revive sup- 
posed (?) thyroid disturbance? 

A. - The very fact that she ceased to menstruate when she was given 
Iodin medicinally, shows that, in order to cure goitre, it is nec- 
essary to supply that kind of Iodin which is found in foods. An 
Iodin diet would help to restore the ovarian function,, and also the 
uterine function, for the simple reason that an Iodin diet would 
increase oxidation.

LECTURE NOTES . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS . QUESTION S & ANSWERS . 

24. CAUSE AND CURE OF CYSTITIS: Please state cause and cure of 
Cystitis. 

A. — The cause of cystitis is lack of Chlorin, and the cure of it 
is to supply foods rich in Chlorin. Of course, if it has gone 
too far, it is perhaps impossible to cure it with a, Chlorin diet. 

25 • SULPHUR AFFECTS MEMORY: Does memory fail from lack of Sulphur 
as well as from excess of Sulphur? Is Sulphur indicated in the 
diet when patients fail to remember or to recall? Do patients 
who perspire freely suffer from Sulphur excess? 

A. - If there is a lack of Sulphur in the system, or if there is 
an excess of Sulphur in the system, it will affect the memory func- 
tion. If a patient perspires freely he may do so from many dif- 
ferent causes. It is difficult to tell what may be the cause. 
If Sulphur is in excess, the skin function becomes disturbed and 
the perspiratory function is affected. 

2.6. I ODIN ~,COD LIVER OIL: Would it be wise to take cod liver oil 
to increase~Iodin? 

A. - Yes, it would be a very good idea to take cod liver oil in or- 
der to increase Iodin in the system, and also the red corpuscles, 
but the cod liver oil should be taken in the right form, and in 
the proper combination with other foods. 

27 • CUCUMBER DIET, NITROPHERIC - OPER ATION: Would a cucumber 
diet help a Nitropheric in case of operation; if so, when should 
the diet be given, before operation or at the time of the opera- 
tion? 

A. — Yes, a diet rich in cucumbers, and in this very acid which is 
found in cucumbers, would help a Nitropheric person in case of op- 
eration. It should be «given before operation, and also after 
operation* 

28. CALCIFERIC - L ATENCY: At what age do Calciferic people over- 
come their latency? ' Will it be hard for them to develop their 
weak faculties - Friendship, Language? 

A. - They overcome their latency at about forty, forty-five, or 
fifty years of age. Yes, it would be difficult for a Calciferic 
man to develop the faculties of Friendship and Language, but it 
can be done and should be done. 

2.9. HONEY - LEMONSDE: Is honey good in hot lemonade? 

A. - Honey would not improve hot lemonade very much, nor would it 
have a beneficial effect at any other time except when there is ca- 
tarrh and germs in the throat. 



« 



F-200 

30. HONEY - MILK - THROAT : In what fruits can honey he used or 
combined? 

A, - Honey can he well used with milk, especially if it is warm and 
fairly hot. This has a very "beneficial effect upon the throat in 
times of colds and irritation in the throa^ 



w 1 



31. COOKED SULPHUR FOODS ~ VINEGAR : If acid helps Sulphur foods 
that are cooked, vinegar should be good with cooked Sulphur foods, 
as, for instance, cabbage. Is this true? 

A. - You are perfectly right in regard to acid helping the diges- 
tion of cooked Sulphur foods. Vinegar is not bad to use in connec- 
tion with cabbage, providing you do not use it to excess* 

32 » SUN BATHS : How should one take sun baths - before or after 
meals, and hovi> long at the time; and how often? 

A. -Sun' baths may be taken inside of screens, or a tent'made of 
guilts, and the sun bath taken inside of that solarium, or inside of 
those Japanese screens, or quilts, as the case may be: All that is 
necessary is to bask the nude body in the sun for about five to ten 
minutes and no longer, having the head, well covered at the time. 
This may be taken once a day with benefit. 

33. PANNING- FRUITS ; How should one can fruits? 

A. -. In canning fruits, you should be ezcceedingly careful to remove 

all decayed fruits, and to have the fruit boiling hot, and the cans 

or jars hot also, so as to prevent germ life from inhabiting the 
fruit. 

34. PREPARING HERB TEAS: How do you make the different teas, and 
how much tea should" be" taken at one time, and how often should they 
be taken? 

A e ~ An teas are made in the same way. All that you need to do is 
to put a little tea into boiling water and let it steep about twenty 

minutes. 

35. DEFECTIVE MENTALI TY: When' a person has become -mentally defec- 
tive after the menopause period, what was the cause, and can it be 
cured after long standing? 

A. - Menstruation has absolutely nothing to do with feeble-minded- 
ness. This is a case of lack of Phosphorus for the brain, or a 
defective diet, or living on demineralized food. 

36. F OREHEAD PERSP IR A T ION : What causes a perspiration from the 
forehead when such a condition has never been a natural state in 
this patient before? It comes on at intervals both day and night. 

A. - Perspiration from the forehead is an indication of brain 
trouble, or some kind of ailment in the brain. The patient should 
be sent to the hills, and should be given a diet rich in Phosphorus, 
Magnesium and Manganese.

37. PERIODIC SPELLS IN DESMOGENICS: What causes periodic bad 
spells in Desmogenics, and what is the remedy? 

A. — When there is a lack of Potassium chlorid in the Desmogenic 
man, or perhaps Sodium chlorid, it results in periodic spells or 
ailments, or habits. The very best thing to do in cases like 
that, is to supply such foods that are rich in Potassium chlorid 
or Sodium chlorid, or both. 

38* PINK EYE - CAUSE: TJhat is the cause of the Pink Eye disease, 
and what is the remedy? 

A. — Pink Eye disease' is caused by a germ, I do not know how to 
cure it . 

39. URINATION - FREQUENT: Why does a child of six years urinate 
often during the day, sometimes every few minutes: in the evening, 
but not at night? 

A. — A child that urinates often, during the day shows an indica- 
tion of great activity in the tissue function and in the urinary 
function. 

40. CHRONIC NEURALGIA" - CURE: What can we do for a chronic neu- 
ralgia patient? Pains everywhere. 

A. - If a person suffers from chronic neuralgia, it is a. positive 
indication that there is acidity of some kind in the system. It 
would be better to place a man like this on a basic diet, and send 
him to the hills for recuperation and rest* 

41. SLEEP INESS - CAUSE: iThat is the new illness that they name 
Sleepiness, or Lethargy, and what can be the cure and prevention 
of it? 

A. — Sleepiness, or Lethargy, is caused by an excess of carbonic 
oxide in the system, and also indicates sluggishness of the brain, 
or inflammation of the brain. 

42. VARICOSE VEINS - CAUSE AND CURE: What is the cause of vari- 
cose veins in an Exesthesic temperament? How can these be over- 
come? 

A. - Varicose veins appear because there is not enough of Silicon 
in the arteries and veins, and in the walls of the same. Also, 
because of a sluggish liver. Blood in the lower extremities must 
pass up into the liver in through this organ, and if the liver is 
sluggish or weak, it cannot attend to all the blood in the lower 
extremities. The veins themselves become overcharged with blood, 
and this may result in varicosity. This can best be overcome by 
gentle massage of the limbs towards the heart, by a diet that is 
rich in Silicon, by an abundance of Oxygen, by the drinking of bit- 
ter teas for the liver, and by supplying a diet that is rich in 
the blood salts. 



F-2DZ 

43. ECZEMA' -^ CAUSE : T-That is the cause of eczema,? Is it caused 
from syphilis" somewhere in the parents or grandparents? 

A.*. - Eczema may be caused by a great many things. If there is a 
lack of the vegetable salts in the skin it results in eczema. An 
excess of Sulphur in the skin may result in eczema. Too much fat 
in the body, or in the skin, may result in eczema. A* miasm in the 
blood", or an inherited miasm, may result in eczema, and germ-life 
taking hold of the skin also results in eczema. 

44.. SYPHILITIC VS . PARGENIC : Is the Pargenic taint syphilitic, and 
does a syphilitic- become Pargenic? Should a syphilitic patient be 
treated" as a Pargenic? 

A. - No, no. We must not consider a syphilitic patient Pargenic. 
A syphilitic patient has Pargenic characteristics but is not neces- 
sarily Pargenic. The Pargenic man is born from a Pargenic mother 
or father, at a time when the taint was active in the body. 

45 • HOW TO PRESERVE FLUORIN IN BROTH : If I cook a broth from a 
joint soup-bone in a pressure cooker and do not let any steam escape, 
do I preserve the Fluorin? 

A. —You cannot preserve Fluorin by cooking the broth in a pressure 
cooker, but you can preserve Fluorin by cooking a broth on a very 
slow fire, over a low burning gas jet, where the broth stands and 
simmers for about six hours. 

46. FLUORIN - HOW TO SUPPLY IN ABUNDANCE: How can we get Fluorin 
supplied quickly when it has been used up? What foods should be 
eaten every day? How much of each? 

A. - In order to supply Fluorin in abundance it is the very best to 
fall back upon such foods that are very rich in Fluorin and eat 
them at every meal in abundance. Fluorin-containing foods are: 
Black", bark, herring, blackfish, salmon, bluefish, mackerel, red cab- 
bage, raw egg yolk, sprouts, oysters, cod liver oil, garlic, cauli- 
flower, minsal, cottage cheese, kumiss, goat's milk, goaf's cheese, 
Roquefort cheese, goat's milk whey, Swiss cheese, goat's whey 
cheese, cartilaginous broth, greenish sea water, and also river 
water. 

47. C HIN A MAN - FL UORIN CONSUMPTION: Has not the Chinaman (Fluorin 
man) tuberculosis or syphjlis, or bad teeth? Does the Chinaman 
look youthful? 

A. — You do not seem to understand. When a certain element produc- 
es a different Constitution, it is the excessive consumption of that 
element which produces that Constitution and those symptoms, ail- 
ments and tendencies peculiar to this Constitution. You should re- 
member that the Fluorin consumption is great in the Chinaman. When 
Fluorin consumption is great, it means that the Fluorin element is 
lacking because they use up the Fluorin too rapidly. The Chinaman 
looks, or appears, just exactly as a Marasmic man or patient does. 
Hence, also, the Chinaman is a living proof of this very fact.

48. FLUOR IN D IET FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN: Should adults and chil- 
dren eat practically the same Fluorin diet, or should the age en- 
ter into this question as to amount? 

A. - Adults and children both are in need of a diet that is rich 
in Fluorin. The Fluorin element should be supplied" at all times 
in all people, at all ages. 

49. Will a Fluorin diet help one in later life, over fifty r who 
has always been deficient in Fluorin, or is it too late? 

A. - If the Fluorin has been insufficient in the diet all along, 
so that there is a deficiency of Fluorin in the system, a rich 
Fluorin diet will help, providing the system can take up the 
Fluorin and utilize it, but if the system cannot utilize the 
Fluorin it is too late, and then £he disease will go on until the 
person dies. 

5"0. PHLEGM IN LUNGS: YThen a person spits up the phlegm from the 
lungs and it is black, is that the sign of a lack of Fluorin in 
the system? 

A. - YJhen a person spits up a phlegm from the lungs that is black, 
it is an indication that the person has inhaled too much smoke and 
dirt from city air. 

51. GOITRE REQUIRES I ODIN: If an exophthalmic goitre case shows 
excessive consumption of Oxygen, would you advise an excess of 
Fluorin and Iodin in the diet? 

A, — Tf an exophthalmic goitre shows an absolute lack of Iodin, 
and therefore, a lack of Oxygen also, you should supply Iodin in 
abundance, and you should place the patient in the hills when it 
is possible, where he can obtain more Oxygen. 

52 « PROSTATIC GLAND TROUBLE: Why do men so often have prostatic 
trouble after about fifty jea.rs of age; even when he had no vener- 
eal disease? Is it due to lack of Fluorin? 

A. - Men have trouble with the prostatic gland for the simple rea- 
son that, after about forty-five years, the system is more acid, 
A man should be placed on a basic diet at the age of about forty- 
five ,. and he would not have any trouble with the prostatic gland. 

53. INSAN ITY: Will a blow sufficient to break one's jaw, necessi- 
tating wiring the teeth, cause insanity? A friend, aged twenty- 
five, has been pronounced insane from above cause. Abscess con- 
dition found on one tooth root. 

A. - A blow on the jaw, resulting in loosening of the teeth, could 
not possibly cause insanity. An abscess under a. tooth could no,t 
cause insanity. Insanity comes from some kind of trouble in t.he 
brain, perhaps from a tumor in the brain or pressure upon the ... 



F-204 

brain. The brain is not in the teeth, nor is the brain in the jaw* 

5"4". ARTISTIC PEOPLE: Are not dark-haired people more artistic than 
red-haired" Exesthesics? 

A.. — Dark—haired people are not necessarily more artistic than red- 
haired people* In fact,, the Color of the hair has nothing to do 
with art. A person is artistic by reason of his artistic facul- 
ties, or development of the artistic faculties- in the brain. The 
hair' has nothing to do with artistic skill. 

55. ALMOND OIL FOR DRY SKIN: Is almond oil good for dry skin in 
the Nitropheric? 

A. - Yes, almond oil is very good for dry skin, even for any type of 
people. 

56. DIET FOR MENTAL, WORKERS : What diet would you advise for a Des- 
mogenic and Myogenic who does mental work ten and twelve hours a day, 
year after year? 

A. - The diet that would be good for a Desmogenic, or for a Myogenic 
man doing heavy mental work from ten to twelve hours a day, year in 
and year out, is a diet that supplies Phosphorus. That man would 
need vegetables, Phosphorus, and Lecithin in abundance. 

57*. DROPSY: Can dropsy be cured,, of four years standing, by diet, 
at the age of forty-five, and at change of life? llh&t kind of 
diet would be used? 

A. — There is no reason why dropsy cannot be cured in a man of forty- 
five years, even if it is of four years standing. If placed upon 
a correct diet, this dropsy will disappear » The best diet at the 
time of change of life would perhaps be a basic diet. 

58. GRAY HAIR : What is the cause of a man's hair turning gray at 
the age of twenty-eight? What can be done to prevent it from gett- 
ing all gray? Constitution is Desmogenic . 

A. - If a man's hair is turning gray at the age of twenty-eight, it 
is a positive indication that the cerebellum has been weakened in 
his case, and if the cerebellum has been weakened to the extent of 
the hair turning gray, so early, we cannot do anything for it. 
Neither strict diet, nor climate, nor medicine, nor anything else,, 
can help it. 

59. INFANTILE PARALYSIS: What would you recommend for treatment 
for infantile paralysis? 

A. — Infantile paralysis cannot be cured. It may be helped, but 
when the substance in the spinal cord has been destroyed, as is al- 
ways the case in infantile paralysis, very little can be done. It 
is perfectly true that you can grow new substance in the spinal 
cord upon the right diet, but this is a very slow process.

60. HEMI~PH LE GIA~ : What would you recommend for treatment of hemi- 
phlegia? 

A". - We are very much afraid" that nothing can be done for hemi- 

pnlegia, for hemiphlegia is caused by lesion to the bands of fi- 
bres in the corpus striatum and also to the band of the internal 
capsule. And" when any of those band's have been destroyed" by le- 
sion, or otherwise, nothing can be done. If a finger is cut off, 
that finger is off to stay, and that is all* 

61. CONSTI TUTIONS CANNOT CHANGE: Is there any type that changes 
with age? Is it possible for a. Neurogenic at thirty years to be- 
come Pallinomic at fifty years? 

A. - It would be almost impossible for any type of a man to change 
his type into another type. Of course, it may possibly be done, 
but we have not seen it done as yet. I doubt very much that a 
Neurogenic could change himself into a Pallinomic. I do believe 
that it is almost impossible for a man to change his type. 

62. HERNIA : What would you recommend for hernia in men, and her- 
nia, caused by obstetrical conditions? Would you recommend imme- 
diate operation, or should the patient recuperate from confinement 
before operation? 

A. - I do not know what to recommend for hernia in man. I do be- 
lieve that the best cure for hernia is immediate operation. Of 
course^ if a rupture is slight, it would heal up again if the per- 
son would only take care of it and would fall back upon a suitable 
diet, providing the patient is not old. But if the patient is 
old the healing power is not so great, nor is it possible for him 
to take up so easily, food materials that would heal it, as he 
could when he is young. 

63. BEAUTY APPLICAT IONS : Since women are bound to have some sort 
of beauty applications, give your opinion on same, and what would 
you recommend for skin applications? Will same work on all types? 
What would be the harmless formula? 

A. -Women are so constituted that they are moved by sentiment, 
and all of those wishes or aspirations for beauty are a result of 
sentiment. Therefore, also", women will always pay attention to 
any and all recommendations or practices current at the time when 
they live* They are just as much interested' in the methods as, 
they are in the beauty itself. If one woman uses face cream^ all 
women want to use face cream, even if that face cream will make 
them all homely. They use it because it is current - it is cus- 
tomary - it is stylish. If it is stylish to have the face cut in 
two and to have the nose shaved off, they would have it done. 
This is sentiment without reason. There is really no formula for 
beauty. The only formula for beauty is to live according to the 
laws of health, and to take the best care of all functions and all 
organs in the body. 



F-2.06 

64- TUBE RCU LAR RO OM-MATE: What affect would an Atrophic person in 
a- tubercular condition have on a. healthy room-mate? 

A. — A"n Atrophic person in a tubercular condition would have a verjr 
bad' effect upon a room-mate. There is an odor, and also an evapora- 
tion from the body at all times, and this odor and evaporation would 
have a bad effect upon a room-mate. 

65". ECZEMA CONT AGI OUS : Is eczema, in the Hydripheric Constitution, 
contagious? 

A. - Eczema., in the Hydripheric Constitution, may or may not be con- 
tagious. If the eczema is caused' by germ life and germ odors, it 
is contagious-, but not otherwise, 

66. ROUND SHOULDBRS : What makes a child round-shouldered? 

A. - A child becomes round-shouldered because the faculties of Self- 
Esteem and Combat iveness are too weak, and because the cerebellum is 
also too weak. The child permits the shoulders to droop instead of 
holding them the way they should be held. When a child is strong 
in Self-Esteem and Combat iveness, and the cerebellum, he holds up 
his shoulders so that they never droop, and hence, never becomes 
round-shouldered. 

67 '• THIRD CIRCULATORY SYSTEM: What is the third circulatory system? 

A. - The fetal circulation is sometimes cabled the second circula- 
tory system- The circulation of the vitellus is sometimes called 
the vitelline circulation. We sometimes hear about the pulmonary 
circulation, as distinguished from that of the systemic circulation, 
or the general circulation. We sometimes hear about the adult 
circulation, or the circulation of the grown man. This is some- 
times called the third circulation, but, it is not the third circu- 
latory system. It is simply the circulation in the grown man. 

68. RADIO-ACTIVE, PEOPLE : Why are human beings radio-active people? 

A. - Human beings are radio-active people because they act with 
arms. The word "radio" has reference to the word "radius, "and 
the humerus in the arm bone. A man is active through his arms. 
When you say that a human being is radio-active, you say the same 
thing as if you would say that the human being is active through 
his arms. 

69 * FUNCTION OF PINEAL GLAND : What is the function of the pineal 
gland? Is the faculty of telepathy in the pineal gland?. 

A. - The function of the pineal gland is unknown to physiology and 
medicine. It is for this very reason that a great many guessers- 
guess at the function of the pineal gland. We have our idea, in re- 
gard to the function of the pineal gland, but we are not sure, for 
we do not really know. We think, however, that the pineal gland" 
has something to do with nerve shocks. There is no faculty in the 
pineal gland. The pineal gland is only a gland.

LECTU RE NOTES. COUR SE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS. 

70. ORIGINAL "ON E EYE ": What became of the original "one eye" 
said to have been used by nan? 

K. - We do not know, nor does anyone else, nor is there any indi- 
cation of an ancient one eye in the anatomy of man. 

71. HUMAN VAMPIRE S': Is there such a thing as one person feeding 
off of the vitality of another? Human "vampires" they are called 
by some cults. 

K. — One man cannot feed on the vitality of another man, but one 
man ma}' have a weakening influence upon another man. Human vam- 
pires v\&y exist, but not in the same sense as people usually be- 
lieve . 

72. SYMPATHY BETW EEN BRAIN AND FEET: What causes the feet to be- 
come warm when the brain is very active? 

A. - When the brain is active the feet are warm or hot. When the 
brain is overheated the feet are overheated, especially when the 
man is standing on his feet. there is a close connection between 
the condition of the brain and the condition of the feet. One 
is in sympathy with the other. 

73. PITUITARY GLAND: What function does the pituitary gland have 
to perform? rt is said that over-activity of this gland causes 
people to grow to be giants. 

'A'. — The pituitary body or gland secretes a certain valuable sub- 
stance for the brain, and if this substance is not secreted, it is 
likely to result in myxedema, and other ailments. You have read 
that the over-activity of this gland causes people to grow to be 
giants. This is nothing else than sensational writing. There 
are some doctors who are sensational and want to become popular, 
and then they write that kind of an article, writing in the dajly 
papers. They want to become known. They are simply sensational, 
and that is all. 

74. MAGNETISM AN D ELECTRICITY: What is the difference between 
magnetism and electricity in man? How does it show? Is it the 
same as positive and negative electricity? What Constitutions 
are more magnetic and more electric? Do you not consider magne- 
tism and electricity in the affinities? 

A. — The difference between magnetism and electricity is this. 
Magnetism is the effect of the activity of one or all of the fa- 
culties of the brain, especially the nobler ones, and electricity 
is. generated in the muscles of man. and in the cerebellum. The 
cerebellum itself is a sort of an electrical motor, and when it 
acts upon the muscles through the motor nerves, electricity is 
generated. Some Constitutions are magnetic and others are more 
electric. No, magnetism and electricity are not affinities, for 
magnetism is generated by the brain, while electricity is generat- 
ed by the muscles and by the cerebellum. 



F-208 

75 - ORGANIC SUGAR DOES NOT NEUTRALIZE CALCIUM: Will the organic 
sugar in fruits neutralize the Calcium foods eaten at the same time? 

A. - The organic sugar in fruits does not neutralize the Calcium 
foods. Sugar has a strong affinity for Calcium and" therefore, al- 
so, if there is too much sugar in the system the Calcium which we 
ea.t will not be utilized normally. 

76. YEA ST, COMPRESSED: Does eating compressed yeast cure indiges- 
tion? If so, in what temperament? 

A. — No, compressed yeast will never cure indigestion. It may pro- 
duce indigestion and gas generation, but it will not cure either. 

77 ~- FLAXSEED GOOD FOR THROAT AND LUNGS: Is flaxseed good for tu- 
berculosis? How should it be prepared, and what minerals does it 
contain? Why does hay-fever sometimes stop after the first frost? 

A. - Yes, flaxseed is good for tuberculosis. It has a soothing ef- 
fect upon the throat and upon the lungs, and will help to loosen the 
mucous and the tubercles in the lungs. It should be cooked the 
same as you cook any other tea, and then mixed with a little lemon 
juice and honey. 

Hay— fever stops when the air becomes cool and frosty. 

78* G ALLSTONES : Is an operation advisable on a lady suffering from 
gallstones? 

A. - It is not necessary to undergo an operation for gallstones. 
Gallstones may be overcome by diet. In fact, gallstones is a diet 
ailment and can be cured by a diet very successfully. 

79. PUS IN CEREB ELLUM : Why is pus sometimes found in the cerebel- 
lum and sometimes partial atrophy? 

A. — Pus is found in the cerebellum because the cerebellum wastes 
away, and it wastes away because there is not enough of life, action 
and blood in the cerebellum by reason of some kind of ailment or 
disease, 

80. I NFANTILE PARAL YSIS: What is the virtue of bathing affected 
limbs' in fish brine in case of infantile paralysis? 

A. - The fish brine will do no more good to the limbs of a person 
who suffers from infantile paralysis than would a little castile soap 
or a little dirt. A person suffers from infantile paralysis because 
a certain part of the spinal marrow has been destroyed by germs and 
germ toxins. What could fish brine have to do with the curing of 
an ailment like this? Fish brine does not grow brain nor marrow. 

31 • SODA FOUNTAIN MATERIAL: Of what benefit is the lemon syrup, 
orange crush, and ice cream with the egg yolk drink which you recom- 
mend for the brain? 

A. - It is of no benefit for the brain. It only gives the drink a 
better taste, and that is all.

LECTURE NOTES. COURSE- FOODS & CHEMICALS . QUESTIO NS & ANSWERS. 

82. MEAT FRO M YOUNG ANIMALS : Is it better to eat meat from matur- 
ed animals than from young animals? 

A. — It is better to eat the meat from young animals than from old 
animals, or mature animals, for the simple reason that young ani- 
mals have generative power, and because there is always more of 
the Vitamines, and of the red corpuscles in young animals. Also 
for the reason that the eliminative organs are stronger and more 
active in young animals than in older ones. In old animals, or 
in the meat from the same, there are always more of the waste pro- 
ducts, toxins, and impurities, and the person who eats the meat 
eats also those products, those toxins and impurities. 

83. POTASSIUM IN ABUNDANCE FOR POTASSIUM PEOPLE : Should a Con- 
stitution in which Potassium consumption is great, suppl}'' that el- 
ement constantly? 

A. — Yes, a man in whom Potassium consumption is great, should al- 
ways supply that element in abundance, constantly, because when 
the consumption of a certain element is great, that element must 
absolutely be supplied in abundance also. The more Potassium you 
use, the more you must supply. The more money you use up, the 
more money you need. The more Phosphorus you burn up, the more 
Phosphorus you need. 

84. ACNE - THE CAUSE : \7hat element is lacking when an apparently 
healthy man, about twenty-one years old, has acne? 

A. - Acne appears in young people, full-blooded people, people who 
have a little too much Iron in the blood, and in the muscles, peo- 
ple who have a little too much of the fatty element in the blood 
and throughout the body; people in whom the sexual system is waken- 
ing up and is vigorous. Acne is a very good sign. It is a 
health sign. Of course, diet can be regulated so that acne never 
appears, and can be regulated so that when acne appears it will al- 
so disappear under the right diet. 

85. NUMBNESS CAUSED BY l*EAK CEREBELLUM: What is the cause of a 
numbness suddenly coming over the forehead and face, making one 
feel they are about to lose consciousness? 

A. - This is a weakness of the cerebellum. It means that it is 
very necessary to sleep much and vitalize your general system. 
It means that you need a diet that sustains the muscular system, 
or that contains Potassium chloride to a great extent. 

86. SILICON LOST IN_ PREPARATION: Is not too much of the Silicon 
and other organic elements, lost even in steelcut oatmeal? 

A. — Yes. 

87. SILICON - RAW OAT S: Can Silicon be taken out of the oatmeal 
by the digestion if the oats be eaten raw? 

A. - NO.

88. HEADACHE - IRON STARVATION: What causes a pain which cones and" 
goes-, along each side of the head, about where your hair begins and 
traveling as though it were in a groove along the side, and makes 
one feel as one feels when a foot is asleep. 

A. - This is an Iron starvation symptom, and" requires a persistent, 
heavy Iron diet. 

89. HEART TROUBLE - HEART S ALTS : What diet would you advise in a 
bad case of heart trouble with liver and kidney complications, be- 
sides a Sodium diet, especially considering that the Constitution is 
Calciferic? Would you. advise hot or cold applications'? 

A. - In case of heart trouble, the chances "are that there is a lack 
of heart salt's - , viz-; Sodium chloride, Potassium chloride,, and Cal- 
cium phosphate. I" would advise a diet rich in heart salts, and I 
would also tell the patient to breathe fresh air in abundance, and 
rest and sleep much. 

90.. MATHEMATICA L GE NIUSES: Are mathematical geniuses sometimes 
Medeic? 

A. —Some mathematical geniuses are Medeic, some are Calciferic* 
and some are Desmogenic. Those three are the greatest of all ma- 
thematicians. 

91. CURRANT JUIC E - SAS SAFRAS TEA - HOW T O PREPA RE: Please say how 
to make currant juice from currants. Also how to make sassafras 
tea. 

A. — Wash the currants first in a collander. Then pour distilled 
water on the currants and let them stand there and cook very slowly 
on a slow fire until they boil, and then drain off the juice and 
drink if. 

Sassafras tea you can prepare the same way as you prepare any other 
tea. All you need to do is to pour distilled water on the sassa- 
fras tea and let it come to a boil, and then let it steep for about 
■cen to fifteen minutes. Then pour it off and drink the tea warm. 

92 * EGG PHOSPHATE - QUICKLY ASSIMI LATED : Is egg phosphate really 
assimilated in about forty minutes, or is the relief you attribute 
to it merely stimulation or neutralization of excess stomach acidity? 

A. - Egg phosphate is assimilated very quickly by the blood stream, 
and does not require any digestion. This is stimulating, at the 
same time, and also neutralizing of stomach acidity. It is an ex- 
cellent food.. 

93 - OCCIPITAL. HEADACHE AND SWELLING OF FEET: Please explain what 
is the cause of constant occipital headaches in a Hydripheric Con- 
stitution, also swelling of the feet or edema. 

A. — Internal brain pressure caused by water acid^and gases. The 
swelling of the feet, or the edema, is caused "by- lack of Chlorin.

hearing became worse, and also his upper nose was gradually clogg- 
ed' up by a growth, probably caused by Calcium phosphate. After 
twenty years of age he became almost deaf. 

A'. — Perhaps the very best thing that you could do with a man like 
that would be to place him on a very strong Sodium diet and send 
him to a moist, warm climate, where the air is breezy, and never 
still, as, for instance,, in the hills of Louisiana. 

95. NERVOUS IMAGI NATI ON IN EXES THSSIC : How do you account for 
sensuality in the Exesthesic type, as they are so refined? 

A. - This is not sensuality. You could not call it sensuality* . 
It is nervous imagination, or it is erethism. This, however , 
does not happen unless the Exesthesic man or woman shall have been 
starved in nerve and brain and unless he or she is under the in- 
fluence of Sulphur acid, or Sulphur gas, acting upon the nerves 
and brain. 

96. GxREAS Y SCALP -INCOMPLETE FAT M ETABOL ISM: Is lack of Magne- 
sium in a mental temperament man the cause of a greasy scalp? 

A. - It is lack of Magnesium, Potassium, and Sodium combined* The 
fat metabolism is incomplete, 

97% SANDY BEACHES - SILICON: Will the bathing on our Chicago 
beaches in the sand supply us with the Silicon element? 

A. — When a man is bathing he is not in the sand. Lying in the 
sand does not supply the Silicon element to the inside of the 
body. It does have its effect on the skin, and on the general 
health- 

98. A VENA SATIVE AND AVS NIN : Where can Avena Sative and Avenin 
be purchased? 

A. — In any first-class Homeopathic drug store. 

99. LOST SPEECH - AVENIN . - Will Avenin help to restore loss of 
speech? 

A. - It will help. 

100. SILICON - LOST SPEECH : Is Silicon valuable in Diphtheria? 

A. —Yes, but pineapple is much more effective on the throat and 
on the germ of Diphtheria, so much so that if pineapple be eaten 
in abundance in connection with certain other valuable treatments 
in Diphtheria, before the disease takes a too strong hold, it will 
prevent the germ from getting hold of the throat tissues so com- 
pletely as to destroy the membranes of the throat.

101. OAT PREPARA TI ONS: What is the best way to prepare oatmeal? 

A. — Cook it in a fireless cooker for about twenty hours. 

Oatmeal muffins - Take two eggs well beaten, one teaspoonful of salt, 
one tablespoonful of sugar, one cup and one-half of sour milk, two 
cups of good oatmeal, one cup of white flour, one-half teaspoonful 
of soda. Mix well and make it into a thick batter and put into 
tins; then put into a. hot oven* Bake from fifteen to twenty minutes 
If the batter is too thin, add a little more oatmeal. If you so 
wish 3^ou may add raisins. It may be well, also, to add just a lit- 
tle good baking powder, because good baking powder, as a general 
rule, contains a certain percent of salicilic acid, and this acid 
has the power to raise the oatmeal much more* 

1.0 &» AVENA SATIVA - HOW TO PRE PARE : Will you give directions for 
taking Avena Sativa? 

A. - This depends upon the patient and upon the sickness; but Avena 
Sativa. is nothing else than an oatmeal extract, or oat extract, and 
cannot do any harm. Of course, it is not necessary to use very 
much. — only perhaps as much as can be held on a twenty— five cent 
piece,, in the beginning. ' Later on it may be well to increase the 
dose. I think, however, it is much better to prepare oatmeal ex- 
tract yourself* Of course, if you do not wish to have that trouble 
you can purchase the extract in a Homeopathic drug store. 

103. GONORRHEA - HOW TO CURE: Can Gonorrhea be cured in a Myogenic 
Constitution? 

A. —Yes. If the germs shall have been killed, all that you need 
to do is to give the patient plenty of red currant juice, black cur- 
rant juice, Oxygen, sassafras tea, mint tea, and a constructive diet. 

104. MYOGENIC_REQyiRES_POTASSIUM, SODIUM, aAND CHLORIN : Does a Myo- 
genic man often run short of~*Sodium and Chlorin as compared to the 
precipitation of Potassium? 

A. — It should be remembered that a Myogenic man is a Potassium pa- 
tient, and that because he is Myogenic, or because he is a. Potassium 
patient, he is capable of utilizing Potassium, Sodium and Chlorin to 
a greater extent. But if he does not eat rightly, he will suffer 
from Sodium and Chlorin, as well as Potassium starvation also. 

105. PINK EYE CAUSE : Is Pink Eye a. germ disease, or is it.-, a symp- 
tom of a lack of Potassium? 

A. —Pink Eye indicates a lack of Potassium, and lack of Sulphur, be- 
cause of excessive Sulphur consumption, and also lack of Sodium and 
Chlorin. A man who suffers from Pink Eye should supply, in his 
diet, every day and at every meal, foods that are rich in Potassium, 
Sulphur, Chlorin and Sodium* 

106.. ACID STOMACH; When is a salty drink best? 

A. — When the stomach is acid.

LECTURE NOTES- COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS. 

107'. FLUORIN FOR THE CALF: You have said that Fluorin is the only 
element that protects the bones and prevents decay; also that 
Fluorin is not found in cow's milk. If that is so, what is it 
that protects the calf's bones? 

A". - In the first place, I did not say that Fluorin is not found in 
cow's milk, Because Fluorin is found in cow*-s milk, although not 
to any great extent. I have said that Fluorin is found to a 
greater extent in goat's milk. It is found anywhere where Calcium 
is at work. Anything that contains Calcium also contains Fluorin, 
to a. certain extent. Unless we boil the milk, Fluorin is not dis- 
sipated. After the calf is older it eats grass; it drinks river 
water. That grass and river water contain Fluorin, and this pro- 
tects the bones of the calf. 

108. PHOSPHORUS PEOPLE NEED SLEEP: If one has most, or all, of 
the spiritual faculties, and he has a great deal of Phosphorus, 
does such a man need to sleep much? I know a man who sleeps but 
very little, and he says that he does not need sleep. 

A. — A Phosphorus man, although he would not need sixteen hours 
sleep a day, will never admit that he needs sleep. He does so 
much thinking, he is always lean and sickly* He is the man who 
needs sleep. It is easy to sleep when a man has nothing but tis- 
sue. It is difficult to sleep when he has nothing but brain. It 
is not a question of what a man may say, think, or do, but rather 
a question of what he needs and cannot obtain. 

109. MILK AN D DATES COMB INED : Do the chemicals of milk and dates 
combine,, or do they clash? 

A. —They combine favorably. There is nothing in dates that would 
be harmful in combination with milk. Yet, we should eat dates by 
themselves, and eat milk in connection with other foods. 

110. VEGETABLE SALTS: Can vegetable salts be purchased? 

A. - Yes, but are they of any value? That which is called tissue . 
salts, is not vegetable salts, but mineral salts. The so-called 
tissue remedies are not vegetable, nor tissue remedies. They are 
not organo-metallic salts. We should not, under any circumstances', 
separate that which God has combined. We must not separate the 
salts from vegetables and fruits. We should eat them as they are. 
le think we can improve on the Almighty, but we cannot. 

111. PHOSPHORUS FOR PHO SPHORU S PE OPLE: If Phosphorus is in the 
lead, should we supply Phosphorus in abundance? 

A. — If Phosphorus is in the lead, it is a Phosphorus Constitution. 
Then Phosphorus should be supplied in abundance, as it is constant- 
ly being burnt up. 



F-2I4 

112.. GLANDS SWELL BY IMPURITY IN SYSTEM: What causes the glands' to 
swell at times-, under the arms? Is it because of a lack of Phos- 
phorus? 

A. - No. It may be because of considerable of impurity in the body. 
If there is a great deal of impurity in the system,, the glands be- 
come full and likely to swell from inflammation. 

113. PHOSPHOROUS FOODS: What foods would you advise as an easy and 
quick way to get Phosphorus? 

A. - Fish food, fish broth,, egg yolk, barley bread, rye bread. 

114. TO ACQUIRE SLEEP : How can the brain be put to sleep in the 
Neurogenic, or mental type? 

A. —You can go to sleep best by doing vigorous physical work during 
the day for about four, five, or s Ik hours, until tired out. Keep 
away from books and intelligent people. Vi/Ren. your body is tired 
your brain goes to sleep. 

115. DREAMS - TOXINS' IN INTESTINES: What is the cause of sleepless- 
ness in one who dreams terrible dreams when he does sleep? 

A. — Toxins in the intestines is the cause. 

116. PHOSPHOROUS FOODS: Should a. Pathetic temperament child be 
given Phosphorous foods in abundance? 

A. - Yes* 

117. DISTILLED WATER: Must distilled water be aired before it is 
used for other purposes, except drinking? 

118. WATER DRINKING: Does frequent drinks of cold water indicate 
an excess of Phosphorus, Oxygen, or a different element? 

A. — No* It does not indicate anything except that the person 
.craves drinks of cold water. There may be, perhaps, excessive heat. 
in the stomach; or there may be a slight inf le.mmation in the liver, 
or nerves, or the brain may be overheated, or there may be toxins in 
the stomach. All such conditions call for drinks in abundance. 

119. MANGANE S E IN NUTS : Do peanuts contain any Manganese? 

A. — Just a mere trace. Walnuts and almond nuts are the principal 
nuts that contain Manganese. 

120. ELEMENTS IN INFANTS: What elements are at work in an infant 
up to seven years of age? 

A. — Principally Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Sulphur, Phos- 
phorus, Calcium and Silicon. They are the principal elements at 
work in a child up to the age of seven. From seven to fourteen we 
have Fibrin at work, mostly. From fourteen to twenty we also have 
Fibrin at work, but we have the brain at work to a greater extent.

LECTURE N OTES . COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS. 

121. CALCIUM FSR IOD AGE: At what years does a child have its Cal- 
cium period? In other words, at what age should Calcium foods he 
given, largely? 

A. — A child has to have Calcium from the time it is being con- 
ceived", up to its twenty-eighth year. At first, he draws Calcium 
from the mother- until she may be nothing but an empty shell. She 
must supply Calcium at her own expense, even if she dies supplying 
it. After birth, the child needs Calcium until it is about 
twenty-eight years of age, or when the bones are fully mature. 
After that, he should not be given Calcium food, except to a small 
degree. After the age of forty-five he does not need Calcium- 
foods. If he eats Calcium then, he may suffer from Calcic dis- 
eases-. 

122. SPINACH FROM GREENHO USES : How can you tell greenhouse grown 
spinach from outside grown? 

A. —You cannot. But we know that the spinach that is supplied 
in November, December and January, may be raised in greenhouses. 

123. ELIMIN ATE C ALCIUM F OR EPILEPSY: Is it necessary to elimi~ ■ 
na.te Fluorin besides Calcium in most cases of epilepsy? 

A. — It is not necessary to eliminate Fluorin if we eliminate Cal- 
cium, because the action of Calcium in the blood leads to epilepsy. 
You can produce epilepsy very soon by supplying an excessive Cal- 
cium diet. Cut out the Calcium and he will recover. 



124. FLUORIN - CONDENSED GOAT^S MILK: 



What about the Fluorin 



contained in a can of goat's milk in comparison with fresh goat's 
milk? 

A*. — In canned goat's milk we do not find Fluorin. Canned, or 
evaporated:, goat's milk., is valuable because of the blood salts. 

125.. CAUSE OF GRAY HAIR: Is it possible to produce gray hair by 
diet, without injury to the hair or to the general health of the 
body? If so, how may this be accomplished? 

A. — Gray hair is not exactly produced by diet. It is perfectly 
true that we can rob the cerebellum of nutrition to such an extent 
that certain single hairs become gray. If you have a. weak cere- 
bellum; if you stay awake too much at night ;. if you lose sleep for 
a long time; if you rob the cerebellum of its nutrition, certain 
single hairs turn gray. If you are shocked in some faculty your 
hair may turn gray in a few days. I knew a man who was the prin- 
cipal owner of a factory: One night he woke up and the factory was 
burning up. He looked out through his window, transfixed, never 
spoke, never moved for two hours. Meanwhile, in two hours his 
hair turned gray. It was nothing else than a shock. We can 
prevent hair from becoming gray to a certain extent, but we cannot 
do so exclusively by diet. The hair turns gray„ if the cerebel- 
lum gives out- 



F-2I6 

I26~ FPEE IODrN: TSRat is free Iodin, and how do these people get 
it into cheir system when they live upon starchy foods - , meats", al- 
buminous foods, etc.? 

A. — Free Iodin is at work in the system. It is not a question of 
where we get it, but we know free Iodin is there. There is free 
Calcium, free Oxygen, free Sodium, at work in the system. We get 
Iodin from foods containing Iodin. Some of the Iodin is used con- 
structively; some is used as free Iodin, acting, of course, in com- 
bination with other elements, or compounds., 

127. P IMPLE S - THE IRC AU SB : If Sulphur drives- out impurity, what 
foods are indicated in cases of pimp3es and acne, or of eczema? 
What kind of pimples are chey? 

A. —Sulphur drives impurity to the surface, but sometimes there may 
be something else lacking. There may be a lack of Potassium in the 
system. Then, there will be pimples. There may be a lack of Iron 
and there will be pimples. Excess of fat will produce pimples. 
There may be an excess of cooked Sulphur, when there will be pim- 
ples/ Acne is produced in young girls and young men. It is sim- 
ply a health sign* It means, "See how healthy I am V 1 If you see 
a young girl with acne on the cheeks, do not be afraid of that girl. 
She will make a good wife and mother, so far as vigor in function 
is concerned. 

128. SLEEPLESSNESS - ITS CAUSE: Does a lack of Manganese produce 
sleeplessness? What other elements will cause sleeplessness, when 
lacking? 

A. - Yes. A lack of Manganese produces sleeplessness. Excessive 
heat, when Manganese is lacking in the body, if you suffer from any- 
thing at that time, you suffer that much more intensely. Over-eat- 
ing, lack of Sodium, auto-intoxication, la.ck of Phosphorus * lack of 
Silicon — all cause sleeplessness. 

Almost any element, when it is lacking, may produce sleeplessness. 
There are some elements that produce sleeplessness when they are in 
excess. For instance, excess of Sodium will produce sleeplessness. 
Excess of Calcium might. Lack of organo-metallic salts might- If 
Potassium is lacking it results in sleeplessness.' If Sulphur is in 
excess, if Phosphorus is in excess, or lacking, it results in sleep- 
lessness. When we consider there are many causes of sleeplessness, 
also what those causes are, it is very foolish to take a dose of 
morphine for sleeplessness. 

129. IODIN - EXCESS AND LACK OF: How can the symptoms due to lack, 
or excess, of Ioain be the same? So many of the symptoms you men- 
tioned are due to lack of Iodin. Can a goitre of thirty years be 
cured by diet only. 

A. —We have often said symptoms are similar, but not identical. 
Excess, or lack, of Icdin symptoms may be similar but not identical, 
because when there is excess, sometiaing alters that symptom. If 
goitre is caused by lack of Iodin then it can be cured.

129. IODIN - EXCESS AND LA CK O F: (Continued") Can goitre caused 
by lack of Iodin be cured? 

Km — Some goitres cannot be cured by an Iodin diet, nor by anything 
else. If you cut it out, the patient may die. Exopthalmic goirr 
tre is a nervous goitre and is caused by a different condition. 
Tt is possible that a goitre can be cured after thirty years stand- 
ing. 

130. BRAIN SHRINKAGE: Can shrinkage of brain be cured by a heavy 
Manganese diet in a man between seventy-five and eighty years - of 
age? 

A. — When a man is as old as seventy— five or eighty years, the 
brain shrinks because of old-age. If we can get the system to 
take up the elements needed, it may be cured. But there comes a 
time when the system refuses those elements ©ven when supplied. 
When the brain begins to shrink, we are in danger. 

131. GOITRES IN W OMEN : Why do women suffer from goitre, and why 
does it rarely occur in men? 

A. — • The reason women suffer from goitre is because they use,, or 
burn, up the organo-metallic salts faster than they can be sup- 
plied. Women use up from two to three times as much Iron as men, 
and they get less. That is why women are subject to disturbances- 
of the motherhood function. 

132,. GO ITRE - CURES: Will painting a goitre with Iodin help it? 
Or do it harm? 

A. — Painting a goitre with Iodin compresses it- You can accom- 
plish the same thing with albumin. You can paint it with the 
white of an egg- Iodin does not supply anything to the goitre, 
because the Iodin you buy in the drug store will never be taken up 
from within. You must manufacture your own Iodin, and supply it 
from the inside, according to the scheme of the Almighty. 

133. GOITRE OPERATION: What effect does an operation have on a 
goitre? 

A. — It depends upon what kind of goitre it is. 

134. EYEL ID DEFECT : What is lacking when a person is not able to 
close the left eyelid? When the left eye waters when eating? 

A.. — Phosphorus, Sodium and Potassium are lacking. 
^ 4 - G AS IN ST OMACH: When is a peppermint drink best? 
A. — When there is gas in the stomach. 



F-E18 

t.35. MAG- N3S IUM D IRE C T ION S : Should Magnesium be introduced into the 
"body Til the morning, or any time a person feels drowsy? 

A, - It should "be introduced "between meals • 

136. "F LU" - CAUSE : What causes great fatigue after the "Flu"? 

Is it due ' to lack of Magnesium? If sugar and albumin are found in 
the urine, is it due to toxins alone? 

A. - In a case of "Flu", the germs and toxins attack the muscular 
brain. "Flu" breaks down the blood salts* Kiat is why you should 
give the "Flu" patient a diet rich in blood salts, after the "KLu", 
or after pneumonia. It is not due to a lack of Magnesium. It is 
lack of Potassium in the "tissues. It is due to lack of Chlorin n 
Chlorin works in albumin. Magnesium has to do with the construction 
of the white fibres in the brain, which are made of albumin and 
other compounds, through the action of the mind and the work exerted 
by Magnesium. 

137. MULBERRY JUICE: What is the difference, whether the Oxypheric 
person takes Mulberry Juice or Magnesium? Will not Magnesium an- 
swer the purpose in reducing heat? 

A. - There is a great deal of difference between mulberry juice 
which has " its own properties and will reduce heat and increase per- 
spiration. Magnesium will not reduce heat. It will cool the 
nerves. The heat in the Oxypheric man is caused by Amativeness, 
and is in the muscles, also a result of great combustion, 

138. CALCIC ACID : When is a soda drink best? 
A. - When there is calcic acid in the system. 

139. SALT RHEUM : What is the cause of salt water boils? 

A. - I do not know just what you mean by salt water boils, unless 
you mean salt rheum. If you mean salt rheum, the cause is a lack, 
or an almost lack of Potassium chlorid in the muscles. 

140. DIET - APPENDICITIS: What is the best diet for a patient 
that has been operated on for appendicitis? 

A. - A patient should 'not eat much after having undergone an opera- 
tion for appendicitis. At least, 'he must not eat any kind of food 
that fills up the alimentary tract. He should eat that kind of 
food that is taken up by the blood stream, almost entirely, so that 
there will be no excreta in the colon.. The best foods are raw egg 
yolk drinks and various kinds of juices from berries, greens or 
vegetables. 

141. RESPIRA TORY CENTRE - LOCATION: Where is the respiratory 
centre? 

A, - In the spinal cord. 

148. CONSTITU TI ONS WHO CAN E AT APPLES CON TAINING- MALIC ACID: What 
three Constitutions can eat apples containing malic acid? 

A. - Myogenic, Sillevitic, Oxypheric; also young, growing people 
and all alkaline temperaments.

ASSEMBLED FACTS. COURSE-FOODS & CHEMICALS. FOOD ANA LYSIS . 

VIT AMINES (Life Force), are found in seeds, blood, tissue,, milk,. 
egg yolk. 

A temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit injures the Vitamines, and 
130 degrees- Fahrenheit kills them. Cooking of fruits and many 
vegetables, not only kills the Vitamines but disturbs the chemical 
elements; hence, fruits and many vegetables pre more valuable in 
the raw state than they are when cooked. 

Vitamines deteriorate with age. Fruits and vegetables directly 
from the orchard or garden, are more valuable for their Vitamines 
than they are after they have been gathered a few months, weeks, or 
even a few days- 
Nuts should not be eaten by themselves, but, should be ground, suit- 
ed and sprinkled on other foods, and eaten at meals. Almond nuts 
should be peeled, as the skin is injurious. 

All undistilled waters contain germs, algae, cancer germs, and 
minerals that do not belong to the human body. The harder the 
water- the more Calcium it contains. Pure water contains no Vitam- 
ines. Impure water contains disease germs. 

NOTE: 

CALCIUM is acid in some people and alkaline in other people. 

I ODIN and IRON attract Oxygen and result in alkalinity. 

MANGANESE is only partly alkaline. 

OXYGEN is acid when acting upon acid elements, and alkaline when 
acting upon alkaline, or basic elements. 

CARBON, HYDROGEN, OXYGEN and SULPHUR are the strongest acid 
chemicals. 

MAGNESIUM, POTASSIUM and SILICON are the strongest alkaline 
chemicals. 

REMARKS : 



The following is a. list of names of foods, their principal salts 
and other contents. 

UNDERLINED SYMBOLS indicate that the chemicals are most abundant 
in the foods in which they are rich.

(1) Herring should "be cooked in distilled water only a few moments. 
(a) Lobsters are hard to digest. Lobster broth is better. 

(3) Oysters and Oyster broth are dangerous account typhoid- germs. 

(4) Trout and Whitefish are likely to Gontain cancer germs. 

(5) Whiting is the cleanest and most wholesome of all fish.

NOTE: Meats are composed mainly of Water, Protein and By-Products, 
perhaps also Toxins especially meat from Bovines. The best 
are Chicken, Lamb, Ham, Gizzard, Tongue, Tenderloin of Pork, 
Veal and Fowl. 

Cartileginous Broth makes gas» The broth of chicken is 
more easily digested than the chicken itself. 

Fowl should be broiled. 

Lamb (the shoulder is the best) should be broiled or baked. 
Those parts of an animal or fowl that are exercised contain 
more protein and more salts than the other parts; hence, are 
more valuable.

ACID, GAS, CONSTIPATION, CURE FOR: 

Formula - Peppermint tea. 
Senna leaves 
Juice of one lime 

These, taken together, make the very best laxative for certain kind 
of acidity, gas, and constipation, 

AFTER 45 YEARS OF AGE'- we need less fats and sugars, and more 
organo-metallic salts. 

ANGER'- When angry drink a quart of mulberry juice an3 lose the 
anger* It is excellent for Oxypheric people. During anger the 
alkaline leaves; the blood secretions and urine become acid, 

BRAIN, EXCESS USB OF - weakens the general physical strength, 

BRAIN USES "MUCH BLOOD WHEN VERY ACTIVE - When you use your brain 
vigorously, all the way from ten to twenty times as much blood goes 
to the brain. If you become very excited, the blood flows to the 
brain tremendously, and the red corpuscles die in great numbers. 
At last, the brain becomes hyperemic, or overcharged with blood. 
This will affect the health, at least for a day or more, 

BRAIN FIBRE - is made of albumin, mainly. Magnesium worksin the 
albumin. 

BRAIN MEASUREMENTS - Most women have smaller brains than men, 

CORPUSCLES, TO MAKE NEW - eat foods rich in Iron; inhale Oxygen in 
the hills. Red corpuscles in the blood are doubled in a high 
altitude. 

GENERATIVE ORGANS SECRETE VITAMINES - to reproduce and to rebuild 
the brain and body. Muscle and bone do not need Vitamines. 

GRAY MATTER OF BRAIN - is made of: 

Lecithin - as found in egg yolk. 

Phosphorus - This is the principal chemical in the 

gray matter. 
Sulphur 
Neurol 

Albumin - There is very little albumin in the brain. 
Carbon 
Hydrogen 
Nitrogen 
Oxygen 

HEAVY, -FLESHY PEOPLE - should avoid protein, fat, sugar and 
starch,. They should eat lean diet foods, 

LIGAMENTS AND JOINTS - require Silicon, Chi or in, Potassium and 
gelatine in abundance.

5. Bile Acid Liver Acts on fat. 

6. Intestinal Juice Acid Intestines Acts on fat. 

7. Appendix Juice Acid Appendix Kills germs. 

SEXUALITY, TO LOWER - Cold weather and high altitude lowers sex- 
uality. 

TENSION - is a strained condition 'of the bones, arteries, canals, 
veins, tissues, tendons and blood. The mind is also similarly 
strained. Formic acid foods prevent tension. 

THYROID GLAND - This is located in the neck, and the Iodin thereat 
serves as a policeman to keep the deadly poisons - skatol and 
indol - in the blood, from going to the brain. 

TISSUES PROTECTED BY SALTS - Certain salts protect our tissues, as, 
for instance: 

e. Fluor in protects the bones and lungs. 

b. Potassium protects the tissue. 

c. Chi or in protects the alimentary tract. 

When the system is charged with Fluorin, it is impossible for con- 
sumption germs to take hold of the lungs. 

TO CONVERT FAT, PROTEIN AND CARBOHYDRATES INTO TISSUE - eat foods 
rich in Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium. 

TO SWEETEN THE STOMACH - eat foods rich in Magnesium, Sodium and 
Silicon. 



F-252 

C N S T I T U T I N S. 

CARBOFERIC PEOPLE - are nervous, "because of ferments in the system. 

OSSEOUS TYPE PEOPLE - all have abundant blood salts. 

PARGENIC PEOPLE - who are weak and who drink, want mild drinks only. 
Those who are strong, being masculine in build, demand strong 
poisons. 

PROTEIN TYPE CONSTITUTIONS - are, Calciferic, Besmogenic, Myogenic, 
and Nitropheric. These types are able to hold 'Nitrogen in the 
system. Nitrogen takes up starch, principally, 

MUSCULAR PEOPLE - should eat more vegetables than other people. 

DISEASES AND AILMENTS . 

ACID IN THE STOMACH - comes from sugar, starch, fat, malic acids, 
tartaric acids, and Phosphorus products. Omit milk when the 
stomach is acid. 

ACIDITY - indicates lack of salts, (Sodium and Magnesium), and an 
excess of sugar, fat, Phosphorous products, and gases. 

ALKALINE CONDITION - The problem always is - How to keep the sys- 
tem alkaline. 

APPENDICITIS - For appendicitis apply "hot towels with just a few 
drops of coal oil to draw out the gas. Operations are unneces- 
sary if this treatment is applied in time. 

ASTHMA - needs Potassium, air and nerve foods in abundance. 

CONSTIPATION - Eat foods rich in Magnesium for constipation, unless 
there is gas in the stomach. 

DIABETES - requires Potassium, Chlorin and Sodium. Gluten Elour 
has very little of vegetable salts; hence, it should not be eaten 
by people suffering from diabetes. 

DIABETIC PATIENTS REQUIRE SODIUM DIET - in connection with certain 
other alkaline salts. Such Sodium bi-carbonate as comes from 
plants growing near large bodies of salt water, is preferrable. 

DROPSY - requires foods rich in Potassium and Chlorin, to draw wa- 
ter from the tissue. 

FATIGUE PRODUCTS - are carried off through the: 

a. Intestines c. Skin 

b. Kidneys d. Lungs 

By - 1„ Magnesium o. Potassium 

2. Sodium 4. Chlorin 

If these fatigue products are not eliminated, gas forms in the 
stomach.

DISEASES AND AILMENTS . (Continued) 

GERMS - Sunlight is death to germs. Keep in the sunlight and oc- 
casionally expose the entire body to the sun and rain. 

HAYPEVER - is simply the sweating of the brain. In other words, 
it is brain perspiration. To care, go to a high, cold climate, 
an ozone belt in the hills, and adopt an Omo diet - (foods that 
are fresh and raw). 

HEALTH, TO RECOVER - So long as the brain and the cerebellum are 
all right, the body - any organ - although wrecked, can be recov- 
ered. 

IF YOU ARE FAT - eat oats and grow thin. 

INDIGESTION, TO CURE - Sodium. Indigestion is always caused by 
gas in the stomach. 

INFLAMMATION - To reduce inflammation apply hot or cold towel, or 
both alternately, on the affected parti ±»ack of Hydrogen pro- 
duces inflammation. 

INFLAMMATION, OR HOT BLOOD IN THE BRAIN - apply a cold towel on 
the forehead, and in one-half hoar yoa will be asleep. This is 
due to the fact that moisture in the blood and brain goes down in- 
to the body. 

IN. TIMS OF SICKNESS - the tissue is always acid, hence, the alka- 
line salts must be supplied. 

LIFE AND DEATH - A dead person is acid. In other words - 

Acid is death 
Alkaline is life 

NERVOUSNESS AND SLEEPLESSNESS - are caused by the consumption of 
too much sugar, fat, acid, protein and cooked Sulphur foods, which 
cause acidity, turning into gas, and the gas entering the nerve 
walls. 

NEURITIS - For neuritis rub olive oil on the affected parts, if 
the nerves are dry. It can be cured by getting the carbonic pro- 
ducts out of the system, by going to the hills and getting Oxygen. 

PERSPIRATION, SOUR - indicates acidity in the system. 

PYORRHEA - is caused by acidity, lack of Oxygen, and lack of 
Chlorin. To cure, adopt an alkaline diet, especially of foods 
rich in Chlorin and Oxygen. 

THROAT TROUBLE - Pineapple is good for throat trouble. 

ULCERS, DRESSING FOR INDOLENT - Calcium troth or milk cloths. They 
are good also for swellings, injuries, inflammation, congestion.

POODS & CHEMICALS 



AIR - Is sai& to be only fifty miles high. 

APPLES THAT ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY EREE PROM MALIC ACID: 

a.Astrachan e« Delicious 
To. Belief lower d. Jonathan 

Astrachan apples contain less malic acid than any other variety* 
Malic acid is very bad for the liver, 

BANANAS - often contain malarial and other poisonous germs, and 
other impurities. Pure bananas - free from all impurities - are 
much better than bread, 

BARLEY - Never eat pearled barley. Eat whole barley, which de- 
velops muscles better than oats, rye, or wheat. Barley yields 
its Phosphorus easily, airyone can take up Phosphorus from barley. 

BEANS, DRY SWEDISH BROWN - are high in Potassium and muscle sugar ~ 
highly nutritious. 

BEANS, STRING-LESS - are rich in Potassium phosphate. They are ex- 
cellent for acidosis, bloating, indigestion and gas. 



BLACEBERRIE: 



plexion, and hysteria. 



are excellent for anemia, tired feeling, pale com- 



BUTTER -is bad, because it is a fat not congenial to the human 
body. The human body requires oleic fats, as found in olives, 
cocoanut, fish, and pork - not fat as found in beef. 

CALCIUM, EXCESS OP - in the blood, may cause epilepsy. 

CALCIIM MY SOLIDIFY- in the brain cells, tissue, organs, and 
skull; and maj? cause insanity, especially in older people. 

CALCIUM SALTS REQUIRED DAILY - one and one-half grams. To obtain 
this, a man would have to eat about eight loaves of white bread a 
day. One quart of milk would furnish the required quantity of 
Calcium. 

CALCIUM TAKEN UP - by the strong will power, strong Combat iveness, 
and weak backhead. 

CAROBA BEAN FOR BREAD - There is a bean that is called the Caroba 
Bean. It is very valuable, if made into bread and all sorts of 
food preparations. This bean contains several valuable principles 
that will drive impurities from the system. 

CHEESE, RO^UBEORT - is rich in the heart and blood salts; excellent. 
for a weak heart, and fine for the consumptive. 



CHEMICAL ELEMENT LACKING - When any chemical element is 
the absorbing suction is gone; hence, foods rich in thai 



lacking,

FOODS & CHEMICALS , (Continued) 

FOODS, SULPHUR - Cooked Sulphur foods, when eaten to excess, cause 
"boils, irritation, anger, and cross feelings. Such cooked food 
is bad for the brain, and leads to congestion. 

Raw Sulphur foods are excellent for all Constitutions, including 
the Exesthesic. 

FOODS, 'SUMMER AND NON-SUMMER - In suffimer grow thin by avoiding 
barley, rye, sugar, fat and Carbon foods, as they increase heat, 
and produce intestinal decomposition. 

In summer eat Formic acid foods and Silicon foods. Oats make 
the best summer food, including oatmeal bread. Formic acid foods 
decrease blood heat, and lower fevers. Eat water foods and fish 
in summer. 

FOODS, FRONG - Do not choke the human engine with foods that it 
cannot handle. 

GINC-ERALE - stimulates the heart and muscles. Too much will 
weaken them. 

GIZZARD, CHICKEN - is the most alkaline of all meats. Ingluvin 
(white powder), is an extract of gizzard, and breaks down gas in 
the stomach. 

GRAPEFRUIT - contains abundant quantity of Magnesium. Eat it 
without sugar. 

GRAPE JUICE - is rich in sugar; hence, supplies the system with 
too much sugar. 

HERRING, SPICED - is stimulating; builds brain, is rich in nerve 
salt, and excellent for bloating and weak digestion. 

HONEY - is acid, but is a good food in limited quantity. It is 
better than granulated sugar. Honey is a tonic for the cere- 
bellum. 

IODIN - counteracts poison in the blood enroute to the brain. 

IRON DEFICIENCY IS CAUSED BY: 

a» Inheritance. d. Illness* 

b. Unfavorable Disposition. e. Old-age. 

c. Overwork. 

IRON STIMULATES CEREBELLUM - It supplies the blood salts. Iron 
is the most important of all blood salts. 

LAXATIVES - consist of Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium. No medicine 
nor food is laxative unless it contains one of these salts. 



F-258 

LECITHIN FOR BRAIN - To manufacture, eat at one and the same time, 
foods containing - 

1. Phosphorus - as found in fish* 

2. Sulphur - as found in fish. 

5. Neurol - as found in raw egg yolk. 

lecithin is needed for brain and nerve nourishment. 

LEMONS, CONTENTS OP: 

1. Citric acid 3. Oxalate of lime 

2. Formic acid 4. Calcium 

LENTILS - have more protein' than any other food. They are high in 
vegetable salts, Phosphorus, and Potassium. They are excellent 
for blood, tissue, kidnejr disease and exhaustion - when mixed with 
greens. 

LIQUID DIET - consists of food containing 81% or more of water. 

MAGNESIUM FOODS - should be eaten liberally by all people who are 
highly impulsive, excitable, nervous, emotional, sensitive, and 
hyperesthetic. 

MAPLE SUGAR AND MAPLE SYRUP - are acid in nature, but are good as 
food. 

MARMALADE, ORANGE - counteracts constipation. Eat with dark rye 
bread, . 

MILK DIET - weakens the Myogenic, and may injure the Desmogenic. 

Give them a vegetable diet. Milk is good for the Calciferic and 

Isogenic, as they have renin (enzymes that act on milk); hence, 
they can digest milk. 

MUSCLE-BUILDING FOODS - All foods high in Nitrogen build muscles. 

NUTS, ALMOND - are rich in Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, and 
Calcium. They are good for brain, nerve, bone and muscle, and 
have a laxative affect. 

NUTS, (PISTACHIO - are high in nutrition, especially in Sodium 
salts. Their protein is easily handled by a weak stomach. They 
contain that valuable substance - Neurol. They are rich in salts, 
important for the stomach, bones and muscles. 

OATS - are rich 'in Silicon, Phosphorus and Potassium. Avenin in 
oats (oatwater), gives strength to the body, nerves, mind, and cer- 
ebellum. Oats feed the skin and improve 'che complexion; they favor 
oxidation. Cook them about twenty-four hours in a fireless cooker. 
Add cream and sage honey, then eat slowly. 

OATWATER: 

How to prepare: 

One gallon washed oats; two gallons cold, distilled water; let 
stand about 24 hours in a cool place and soak. Then pour off 
the oil, or oatwater, that is at the top. (There will be

about one quart oatwater), and keep in a refrigerator or other 
cool place to prevent souring. 

/ 

PURPOSE: 

The avenin in the oats, of which oatwater consists, is valu- 
able as a tonic for the nerves, cerebellum, and brain. It 
stimulates bone function, improves skin, and makes it more 
pliable and tough, and it acts on hair function* 

Directions for use: 

Drink about one glass at a time, two or three times a day- 
Drink by itself, or mixed with gingerale, carrot juice, 
orange juice, or raw egg jrolk. 

OKRA - is the richest of all food in Sodium, excellent for acid in 
stomach, bloating, flatus, gas, indigestion, and elimination. 

OLIVE OIL - is good for painful nerves, piles and bowels. 

ORANGE PEEL - is very rich in Magnesium. 

OVER-EATING - may lead to many diseases, including cancers, obesi- 
ty, gout, rheumatism, neuritis, heart disease, indigestion, peri- 
tonitis, etc. Over-eating weakens the life force. 

OXYGEN, EXCESS - makes the brain impulsive. 

OXYGEN IS OBTAINED AS FOLLOWS: 

a. High altitude. h. Cold water thrown suddenly on 

b. Cold weather. the spine. 

c. Ozone belt. i. By increasing air cells, 
di Deep breathing. j. Vitamines. 

e. Iron in the blood. k. Amativeness (Passion). 

f. Potassium & Sodium foods. 1. By being sociable. 

g. Looking at bright lights. 

PEACHES, DRIED- are high in Potassium, excellent as a tissue 
food and tonic. 

PEANUTS, RAW - contain starch and Vitamines. Eat them raw to get 
the Vitamines. 

PEARS - are good for the muscles if the stomach is not full of gas. 
Dried pears are high in blood salts. 

PEAS, YELLOW SPLIT - build muscle. 

PHOSPHORUS - is found in the gray matter of brain, which is the 
seat of intelligence. 



P-S60 

PHOSPHORUS 



EXCESS - always produces low oxidation. 



PINEAPPLE - rich in Formic and Citric acids.' Also in pineapple 
acid, which acts upon the membraneous system, the throat, growths 
and tumors. Pineapple cures diphtheria if taken in time. 

POTASSIUM - is explosive in its nature. It works ' in fat and sugar. 
People of this element are similar in their nature. They are very 
active physically. They require more Potassium than other people. 
People who need Potassium greatly, dislike foods containing them. 
Periodical headaches are caused by a lack of Potassium. 

POTASSIUM COMBINATION - Potassium needs Chi or in and Sodium in abund- 
anc e • 

PRODUCTS OP THE SYSTEM: 

a. Bones are metal products. 

b. Blood is vital fluid. 

c. Brain is nervous product. 

d. Tissue is mainly vegetable product. 



PROTEINS - give strength, vigor, life, ambition, 
taining albumin, and composed of: 



It is food con- 



a. Carbon 
b* Hydrogen 
c. Nitrogen 



d. Oxygen 

e. Sulphur 



Proteins are constipating, and must be accompanied by salts. The 
stomach must do all of the digestive work for the muscles. The 
strength of the stomach and of the muscular system go hand in hand. 
Eat less and less protein foods as you grow older. There is no 
danger of eating too little of proteins. 

PROTEIN POISONS - make people impatient, cross and reckless. 

PRIMES - are rich in Potassium, and in all the body salts. They 
increase tissue "oxidation, and counteract constipation. The sweet 
prunes are best. Tart prunes contain too much prune acid. 

RATIONS - While growing we need, much food, but after maturity we 
need. less. 

SAGE TEA - acts as a tonic, stimulates the cerebellum. 

SALTS, ALKALINE (That reduce acid): 



ai Silicon 
b. Sodium 



SALTS. BLOOD: 



a. Sodium Chloride 

b. Potassium Chloride 

c. Calcium Phosphate 



c. Magnesium 

d. Potassium 



d. Iron Compounds as agents of 
oxidation.

FOODS AND CHEMICALS . (Continued) 
SALTS, BRAIN AND NERVE - Ripe Olives, Emulsion. 
SALTS, HEART: 

a. Calcium Phosphate 

b. Potassium Chloride 

c. Sodium Chloride 

SALTS, STOMACH - Chi or in f Magnesium, Sodium. Sodium is the prin- 
cipal one. 

SILICON - tones and stimulates the bones, tissue, and cerebellum. 

SILICON EFFECT ON THE BRAIN - particularly on the intellect, is re- 
markable. A Silicon diet enables the brain workers to accomplish 
much more work with less fatigue. Patients of an intense nervo 
fibrous temperament (Exesthesic ), are always benefited by a Sili- 
con diet. 

SODIUM - enables the system to metabolize Carbon foods. 

SODIUM, CHLORIN AND CALCIUM - result in crime, murder and war. 

SODIUM, EXCESS - causes a person to cling to hatred for years. 

SODIUM CHLORIDE - when lacking weakens the red blood corpuscles. 

STARCHES, NEGATIVE: 

a. Potatoes c. Rice 

b. Sweet Potatoes cl. Roots 

Almost everything that grows underground, except radishes and 
onions. 

SUGAR, TO HANDLE - eat Calcium food to take care of the sugar, and 
Potassium food to enable the tissue to take up the sugar. 

SUGAR, FAT AND STARCH - eaten excessively will ferment. They 
cause drowsiness. They work on the brain and mo tor nerves, and 
may cause neuritis on account; of gas formation. Sugar, starch 
and fat combined, cause' acid in the stomach. 

SULPHUR - is the greatest of all chemicals. It stands closer to 
the soul than any other chemical. The soul acts through Sulphur* 

SULPHUR, EXCESS - can be overcome by eating Magnesium foods or 
carbonate of soda to break down the gas. Cold winds and cold 
sponge baths are also needed. 

SWEETS, CRAVING FOR -People of the feminine type body are the 
ones who crave sweets. Bony people of the masculine sex type 
body, who do not have Parental Love, do not crave sweets. 



F-262 

TONICS - Linseed tea and lime juice relax the cerebellum and lungs; 
raspberry and dewberry juices are good for the bowels. Barberries 
are good for the liver and kidneys. 

VEGETABLE DIET - may lead to indigestion, in which event supply 
food rich in Chlorin. 

VEGETABLES, EZCSSS - Too much vegetable Potassium drives the Chlorin 
out of the body. 

VITAMINES, POODS RICH. IN - Blackberries, egg yolk, fresh milk from 
the young cow, carrot juice, orange juice and nuts. 

WATER, UN-DISTILLED - is one of the greatest causes of sickness, due 
to the inability of the system to take care of the unorganized min- 
erals therein. 

MISCELLANEOUS . 

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT-BAD FOR CALCIUM PEOPLE - Sunlight has a good ef- 
fect, but strong, artificial light has a bad effect upon the eyes 
and eyeballs of Calcium-hunger patients. ■ 

EFFECT OF COLD FEATHER - Cold weather burns fat and sugar, and in- 
creases combustion and tissue oxidation. If the weather is too 
cold, it weakens the tissue oxidation. 

EXTREME TDH7ERATURE - The temperature is said to be one thousand 
degrees below zero fifty miles from the earth. 

FACULTIES STRONGLY IN THE LEAD AND THE FOODS THEY CRAVE AND WHICH 
CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT, VIZ: 

a. Aliment iveness - Starchy foods. 

b. Amativeness - Fats. 

c. Cerebellum - Proteins - mainly meat. 

d. Firmness - Calcium. 

e. Parental Love - Sweets. 

f. Tophead - Fruits, Nuts, Greens, Soft Vegs. 

FASTING - To starve is to manufacture poison (autotoxin). Starve 
physically, if you wish, but never strive mentally. 

HAIR WASH - Grape-root juice is the best hair wash in the world. 

HARD WORK - For hard thinking, and hard physical work, eat abund- 
antly of foods rich in Phosphorus, Calcium and Silicon. 

HUNGER - The more hungry we are and the more we breathe, the bet- 
ter we digest the food. 

LEISURE LIFE - If living without thinking seriously, leave alone 
foods rich in Phosphorus and Calcium.

POSITION OF BODY IN WHICH TO SLEEP: 

On back - throws the blood to the cerebellum. 

On stomach - is good in times of gas and bloating. Stretch the 
body in the bed to increase the nerve force and cause 
gas to travel toward the colon. 

On left side - is all right if the heart is sound. 

On right side - is best of all positions. Stretch out straight. 
Let the left wrist rest in the right hand with the right 
elbow on the mattress. This permits great anatomical 
freedom of all organs. 

NOTE: All psychic, sensitive people should lie with head toward 
the north on account of the earth's magnetic current travel 
ing south to north - from feet upwardly -» and from pole to 
pole. This prevents the magnetic currents from arousing 
the brain cells, and from traveling against the nerves. 

SLEEPINESS AFTER MEALS - indicates that the digestion is slow, and 
that the Sodium supply is low. 

SOCIABILITY - The more sociable we are, the more Oxygen we gather*. 

THE THREE KINGDOMS - The animal and vegetable kingdoms stand be- 
tween us and the mineral kingdom. In other words, we live on the 
products of the vegetable and animal kingdoms. 

WEATHER, WARM, SULTRY - uses up Sodium salts in great quantities. 
Sodium is washed out of the system by water drinking. 

WILD OATS - Small rolls of fat under the skin indicate wild oats. 

WINTER - In winter grow fat and strong. 

DANDELION TONIC - DIRECTIONS: One wine-glassful three hours af- 
ter eating at night, (just before retiring), once a day for ten . 
days only. 

Effec t on Syst em - Dandelion Tonic is a Potassium Extract that 
tones up the muscles, that stimulates, and acts upon the motor 
centres and the erectile 'muscles. It is good for paralysis, pa- 
resis, muscular weakness, and tired feeling. It increases oxida- 
tion and strengthens the muscles. Too much causes weakness, 
dullness, sleepiness and stupidity.
